Equipment
- 1 13x9 inch pan
- 1 Sheet Wax Paper
- 1 stock pot
- 1 Large Mixing Bowl
- 1 Wooden Spoon
Ingredients
- 8 cups Cap'n Crunch Cereal
- 1/3 cup Butter
- 1 bag Mini Marshmallows 10 ounces
- 1 tsp. Vanilla Extract
- Non-Stick Spray
Instructions
- Spray a 13x9 inch pan with non-stick spray and set it to the side.
- Melt the butter in a stock pot over medium-low heat.
- Once the butter is completely melted, add the entire bag of marshmallows.
- Keep the heat on medium-low and allow the marshmallows to slowly melt. Stir them every minute or two.
- Once the marshmallows begin to melt, give your mixing spoon a spritz of non-stick spray each time you stir to keep the mixing spoon free of marshmallows.
- While the marshmallows are melting, pour the 8 cups of cereal into a large bowl.
- Once the marshmallows are completely melted, turn the heat off and add the vanilla extract, blending it thoroughly into the marshmallows.
- Quickly pour the melted marshmallows over the cereal and stir the marshmallows and cereal quickly and completely until the cereal is evenly coated. Be sure to scrape the sides and the bottom so no cereal is left dry.
- Then pour the cereal into your greased 13x9 inch pan.
- Cut a large piece of wax paper and spray it with non-stick spray. Gently press the wax paper into the Marshmallow Treats to even the top of remove any excess air.
- Allow the treats to set for 2-4 hours.
- To serve, cut into squares coating the knife with non-stick spray between each cut.
- Enjoy!
