Ingredients Method Notes

Ingredients
  

  • 4 cups corn-flavored square cereal 120 g
  • 5 cups graham-flavored squares 206 g
  • 1/4 cup unsalted butter
  • 1 cup milk chocolate chips 123 g
  • 3/4 cup mini marshmallows
  • 2 cups confectioners' sugar
  • 1 additional cup milk chocolate chips
  • Extra mini marshmallows
  • Optional swaps: honey nut cereal dark chocolate chips, vegan marshmallows

Method
 

  1. Measure 4 cups corn cereal and 5 cups graham cereal. Spread evenly on a large sheet tray.
  2. In a microwave-safe bowl, combine butter, 1 cup chocolate chips, and 3/4 cup mini marshmallows. Microwave in 15-second increments, stirring until smooth.
  3. Pour melted mixture over cereals. Gently fold until evenly coated.
  4. Sift confectioners' sugar in batches over coated cereal, mixing gently after each addition.
  5. Cool mixture on tray for 30 minutes.
  6. Fold in remaining chocolate chips and extra marshmallows before serving.

Notes

Microwave chocolate mixture slowly in short bursts to avoid scorching. Don’t skip cooling—this step ensures toppings stick and texture stays crunchy.
