Cinnamon Toast Crunch Marshmallow Treats

Now that I'm not in school anymore, I'm finally able to sit down and eat breakfast. My parents have interpreted this as a green light to buy an abnormal amount of cereal. I should really say my dad and not my parents, because he's mostly responsible for all the grocery shopping. What can I say, he LOVES shopping wholesale. BJ's, Costco, you name it. Even when he's not actually at a wholesale store, he's buying a whole lot of stuff that is on sale.

I guess some time ago, there was a cereal sale and we ended up with 16 boxes of cereal in the house. I'm not even exaggerating. It was cool at the time, because he bought all the cereals that I liked. But after going through four boxes of Wheaties and two boxes of Kix all by myself, cereal started to look very unappealing. I still ate it, though not as often, but I stopped eating the same kind of cereal for weeks straight. That was the main problem; my lack of variation.

Cinnamon Toast Crunch Marshmallow Treats

Ingredients:

One 7oz. jar of marshmallow creme

2.5 cups of Cinnamon Toast Crunch cereal

2.5 tablespoons unsalted butter

Directions:

Lightly spray a 7 x 7 inch pan with cooking spray and set aside.

In a large saucepan, melt the butter over low heat. Add marshmallow creme and stir until it is mixed in. Remove saucepan from heat and add in the cereal. Stir together until cereal is completely coated.

Spread cereal mixture into the prepared pan; use a sheet of wax paper or aluminum foil to pat down the mixture evenly. Let cool, then cut into squares.
