Ingredients

Crust

  • 1/2 cup Gold Medal™ all-purpose flour
  • 1/2 cup Chocolate Cheerios™ cereal, crushed
  • 1/3 cup packed brown sugar
  • 1/4 teaspoon baking powder
  • 1/4 cup butter, softened

Topping

  • 1/3 cup light corn syrup
  • 2 tablespoons butter
  • 1/2 teaspoon vanilla
  • 1 cup milk chocolate chips
  • 2 cups Chocolate Cheerios™ cereal

Steps

  • 1
    Heat oven to 350°F. In medium bowl, mix all crust ingredients except marshmallows with electric mixer on low speed until crumbly. Divide evenly among 24 nonstick mini muffin cups (about 2 level teaspoonfuls per cup); press firmly into bottom of each cup.

    Bake 6 to 7 minutes or until puffed and golden brown. Place 5 marshmallows in each cup. Bake 1 to 2 minutes longer until marshmallows just begin to puff. Cool.

    Meanwhile, in 2-quart saucepan, mix all topping ingredients except cereal. Heat over medium-low heat just until chips are melted and mixture is smooth, stirring constantly. Remove from heat; stir in cereal. Immediately spoon cereal mixture by heaping tablespoonfuls over marshmallows, pressing down slightly. Cool about 15 minutes or until firm. Remove from muffin cups; cool completely.

  • To crush Cheerios®, place in resealable plastic bag and roll over them with a rolling pin until crumbs form.
