Scale
Main Ingredients:
- 10.4 ounces (296 grams) Franken Berry cereal
- 1 pound (454 grams) mini marshmallows
Supporting Ingredients:
- 4 1/2 tablespoons (67 grams) butter
Instructions
- Prepare a 9×13-inch pan by coating the interior with a thin layer of butter or non-stick cooking spray to prevent sticking.
- In a large saucepan, gently melt butter over low heat, ensuring it doesn’t brown or burn.
- Add marshmallows to the melted butter, stirring continuously until the mixture becomes completely smooth and glossy.
- Remove the saucepan from heat and immediately fold in Franken Berry cereal, ensuring every piece gets evenly coated with the marshmallow mixture.
- Transfer the sticky mixture to the prepared pan, using a greased spatula or buttered hands to spread and press it uniformly into all corners.
- Allow the krispies to cool and solidify at room temperature for approximately 20-25 minutes.
- Once set, slice into uniform squares using a sharp knife, creating clean, even portions for serving.
Notes
- Prevent Sticking Lightly coat your spatula or hands with cooking spray to easily press the mixture into the pan without creating a mess.
- Marshmallow Melting Tip Use low heat and stir constantly to prevent burning, ensuring a smooth and creamy marshmallow base for your krispies.
- Cereal Freshness Measure the Franken Berry cereal just before mixing to maintain its crispy texture and vibrant color throughout the treat.
- Dietary Modification Swap regular marshmallows with vegan marshmallows and use gluten-free cereal to create an allergy-friendly version of this classic dessert.
