Name: Crispy Cereal Treats
Prep time: 15 min
Total time: 45 min
Yield: Makes 16
Ingredients: 3 tablespoons unsalted butter, plus more softened for pan; 1 10-ounce bag mini marshmallows; 1 recipe mix-ins (see below); 5 cups chocolate puffed rice cereal, such as Cocoa Krispies; 1 cup cocktail peanuts, roughly chopped; 1/2 cup chopped semisweet chocolate; 5 cups puffed oat cereal, such as Puffins; 1/2 cup dried cherries or cranberries; 1/2 cup chopped toasted pecans; 1/2 cup toasted pepitas; 5 cups flaked corn cereal, such as Corn Flakes; 1/2 cup chopped dried tropical fruit, such as mango and/or pineapple; 1/2 cup toasted coconut flakes; 1/2 cup chopped macadamia nuts; 5 cups whole-grain oat cereal, such as Cheerios; 3/4 cup chopped freeze-dried raspberries; 3/4 cup chopped white chocolate

For a no-bake treat just right for lunchboxes or after school, try this fun twist on a childhood favorite that goes beyond the usual "Snap, Crackle, and Pop" blueprint and plays with other great combinations found in the cereal aisle. Each of the four variations uses the same marshmallow base—whether you want to use the mix-ins to take it in a chocolatey, tropical, or fruity direction is entirely up to you!
