Cost: Recipe $0.21
Ingredients
- ½ tablespoon unsalted butter ($0.06)
- ¾ cup mini marshmallows ($0.11)
- ¾ cup crispy rice cereal ($0.04)
Instructions
- Melt butter. Add butter to a 12 to 16-ounce microwave-safe mug. Microwave 10 to 15 seconds until just melted. Swirl butter around the sides of the mug to lightly coat.
- Melt marshmallows. Add marshmallows to the mug. Microwave 30 seconds until puffy and melted.
- Stir. Stir immediately to fully combine melted butter and marshmallows.
- Add cereal. Stir in ½ cup cereal until coated. Add up to ¼ cup more cereal for a firmer texture.
- Set or eat. Enjoy immediately for a warm, gooey treat, or let rest 1 to 2 minutes for a softer texture. Let rest about 5 minutes to press into a square or bar.
Notes
- Microwave Tip. Avoid overcooking or over-stirring. Melt just until soft to prevent hard treats once cooled.
- Texture Control. Less cereal makes it gooier, more cereal makes it firmer.
- Toppings. Add sprinkles, chocolate chips, crushed cookies, or a drizzle of melted chocolate if desired.
- Storage. Store airtight at room temperature up to 2 weeks or freeze individually wrapped portions up to 3 months. Thaw at room temperature before eating.
