Betty Crocker Cookie Mix

Steps

1

Heat oven to 350°F. Spray bottom of 13x9-inch pan with cooking spray.
2

In large bowl, stir cookie mix, oil, water and egg until soft dough forms. Press dough in pan using floured fingers.
3

Bake 12 to 15 minutes or until set. Immediately sprinkle marshmallows over crust; bake 1 to 2 minutes longer or until marshmallows begin to puff.
4

In 4-quart saucepan, cook corn syrup, butter, vanilla and chips over low heat, stirring constantly, until chips are melted. Remove from heat; stir in cereal and nuts. Immediately spoon cereal mixture evenly over marshmallows. Refrigerate 30 minutes or until firm. For bars, cut into 9 rows by 4 rows.

Tips from the Betty Crocker Kitchens

tip 1
Skip the cooking spray and line pan with foil for quick cleanup and easy bar removal.
tip 2
For a different flavor, try milk chocolate or semisweet chocolate chips for the peanut butter chips.
