Instructions

Melt the Butter in a Dutch Oven or Stock Pot over Medium High Heat.

Prepare a Baking Pan (*see Notes below) with Parchment Paper.
Pour the Cereal Bar Mixture into the Parchment Paper lined Baking Pan and gently press the Cereal Bar Mixture into the pan to slightly flatten.
Allow the Cereal Bars to completely cool for about 1 hour. Then remove the Cereal Bars (with the Parchment Paper) and cut into desired size.

Notes

- You can use Homemade Marshmallows (check out my recipe post!) or 1 Bag of Large Store-Bought Marshmallows

- The Baking Pan you use (8x8, 9x9 or 9x13) will determine how Thick the Cereal Bars will be. The Smaller the Pan, the Thicker the Bars.
