Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 cups cornflakes cereal
- 2 cups mini marshmallows
- 4 tablespoons unsalted butter
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 0.25 teaspoon salt
- 0.5 cups chocolate chips (optional)
Instructions
Prepare a large baking sheet by lining it with parchment paper or a silicone baking mat.
In a large pot, melt the unsalted butter over low heat.
Add the mini marshmallows to the melted butter and stir continuously until they are fully melted and the mixture is smooth.
Remove the pot from the heat, then stir in the vanilla extract and salt to enhance the flavor.
Immediately add the cornflakes to the melted marshmallow mixture and gently fold them in until all the cereal is evenly coated.
If using chocolate chips, fold them in quickly so they don't completely melt but soften slightly.
Using a spoon or a small cookie scoop, drop portions of the mixture onto the prepared baking sheet, forming mounds of about 2-3 tablespoons each.
Let the Cornflake Chews cool at room temperature until they firm up, about 20-30 minutes.
Serve and enjoy! Store any leftovers in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 4 days.
