Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 tablespoons unsalted butter
- 10 cups mini marshmallows
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 6 cups corn flakes cereal
- 0.25 teaspoon salt
- as desired optional sprinkles or chocolate drizzle
Instructions
Line a 9x13-inch baking pan with parchment paper or lightly grease it. Set aside.
In a large pot, melt the unsalted butter over medium-low heat.
Once the butter has melted, add the mini marshmallows to the pot. Stir continuously until the marshmallows are completely melted and smooth.
Remove the pot from the heat and stir in the vanilla extract and salt.
Add the corn flakes cereal to the pot and gently fold them into the marshmallow mixture until all the cereal is coated.
Transfer the mixture into the prepared baking pan. Use a spatula or the back of a spoon (greased lightly with butter or cooking spray) to press the mixture evenly into the pan. Be gentle to avoid crushing the cereal.
If desired, add sprinkles or drizzle melted chocolate over the top for extra decoration.
Let the corn flake treats cool and set at room temperature for about 30 minutes.
Once set, cut into squares or bars and serve. Store any leftovers in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days.
