Marshmallow cereal bars

Much like the bars you can buy at the supermarket, these marshmallow cereal bars can be added as a treat to your child's lunch box or you could make a batch for the cake stall.

Ingredients

  • 50g unsalted butter

  • 300g pink and white marshmallows

  • 175g cereal

    such as cornflakes, hoops, or crisped rice

Equipment

  • 1 small baking tin
  • 1 large saucepan
  • 1 spoon

Instructions

  1. Lightly oil a small baking tin.
  2. Melt the butter in a large saucepan over a low heat, add the marshmallows and melt, stirring continuously.
  3. Remove from the heat and stir in the cereal.
  4. Tip into the prepared tin. Press down using the back of a spoon (this works best if you lightly oil the spoon to stop sticking).
  5. Leave to set. Cut into squares and serve.

Notes

Tip
Lightly oil the back of the spoon to stop the mixture from sticking when you press it down.
Storage
Store in an airtight container at room temperature.
