These no-bake bars are a no-joke, easy and fun whole grain treat.

Directions

1. Prepare a 9×13 dish with waxed paper; and then spray the paper with non stick cooking spray.

2. Spray another sheet of wax paper with nonstick cooking spray. Set aside.

3. Then in a medium stock pot or dutch oven, melt butter over medium heat.

4. Add the marshmallows and stir constantly until completely melted. Re move from heat.

5. Immediately add the cereal, stirring until the cereal is completely coated in the melted marshmallows.

6. Transfer the cereal mixture to the 9×13 dish. Use the extra piece of sprayed wax paper to press the cereal firmly into the dish.

7. Add sprinkles, candy or reserved marshmallows over the top of the cereal bars, pressing larger pieces into the cereal bars.

8. Allow to cool completely before lifting by the waxed paper and placing on a cutting board. Then cut into cereal bars.

Ingredients

• 4 tablespoons butter

• 5 cups marshmallows (miniature are the easiest but any size will work)

TIPS: Remove some of the marshmallows and save them to top off the cereal bars. You could use this recipe to mix and match different cereals and toppings to find new favorites. Cereal bars can be individually wrapped, placed in a gallon-sized freezer bag, and frozen for up to 6 months. Bring to room temperature before serving though cereal may be slightly soggy.
