Variations
- Chocolate - Switch out the fruity cereal of Cocoa Krispies. So Good!
- Shapes- Once the treats are cooled use thick cookie cutters to make shapes! See an idea here.
Equipment
Equipment can have a big impact on how a recipe turns out. But for this recipe all you need is a heavy bottoms pot, a good scraper and a 9x9 pan. Find my favs of these HERE in my storefront!
Storage
These store great for a few days in an airtight container...However, I bet they are gone before you know it!

TIP- Spray their hands with cooking spray or get them damp with water and the marshmallows will stick less when smoothing out!
