Ingredients

  • 3 tablespoons butter, melted
  • 1 (12-ounce) bag large marshmallows
  • 1-2 cups mini marshmallows
  • 7-8 cups Cocoa Krispies

Instructions

  • In a large bowl, melt butter in the microwave for 30 seconds.
  • Add large marshmallows to butter bowl and microwave for 3 minutes.
  • Stir well and slowly add Cocoa Krispies.
  • When all combined, toss in 1-2 cups mini marshmallows and then pour into a greased 9x13 pan and gently press down. Let set and enjoy!

Notes

Recipe Tips.
  • Spray your spatula or spoon with cooking spray so the marshmallow mixture does not stick while stirring.
  • Gently press the mixture into the pan instead of packing it down tightly so the bars stay soft.
  • Line pan with parchment and gently press mixture in without packing it down.
  • Let cool before cutting, then slice with a serrated knife.
Store. Store the treats in an airtight container. They will last for 2-3 days at room temperature before they begin to harden. 
Freeze. For longer storage, tightly wrap each treat with plastic and place them into a freezer safe storage container. They will last for 4-6 weeks. Thaw before eating. Note that they will not be as soft after being frozen, but they will still be delicious.
