Ingredients

• 6 cups Cheerios cereal
• 10 ounces Mini marshmallows
• 3 tablespoons Unsalted butter
• 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract
• 0.25 teaspoons Salt (optional)
• 1 as needed Nonstick cooking spray

Directions

Step 1

Prepare a 9x13-inch baking dish by lightly spraying it with nonstick cooking spray. Set aside.

Step 2

In a large saucepan, melt the butter over low heat.

Step 3

Once the butter is melted, add the mini marshmallows to the saucepan. Stir continuously until the marshmallows are completely melted and smooth.

Step 4

Remove the saucepan from heat and stir in the vanilla extract and salt (if using) until evenly combined.

Step 5

Quickly pour the Cheerios cereal into the marshmallow mixture. Stir gently but thoroughly until the cereal is fully coated.

Step 6

Transfer the mixture to the prepared 9x13-inch pan. Using a piece of parchment paper or lightly greased hands, press the mixture evenly into the pan, ensuring the surface is smooth and compact.

Step 7

Allow the bars to cool and set completely at room temperature, about 30 minutes.

Step 8

Once set, cut into 12 evenly sized bars and serve. Store any leftovers in an airtight container for up to 5 days.
