Ingredients

  • 6 cups Honey Nut Cheerios™ cereal
  • 1/3 cup butter or margarine
  • 4 1/2 cups miniature or 48 large marshmallows
  • 5 oz vanilla-flavored candy coating
  • Betty Crocker™ decorating sprinkles and sugars, as desired

Steps

  • 1
    Butter bottom and sides of 13x9-inch pan. In very large bowl, place cereal. In 3-quart saucepan, heat butter and marshmallows over low heat, stirring constantly, until melted and smooth. Pour over cereal; stir until cereal is well coated.
  • 2
    Using buttered back of spoon, press mixture evenly in pan. Let stand at room temperature about 1 hour or until firm.
  • 3
    Loosen edges of cereal mixture with metal spatula; remove from pan. Cut into desired shapes with cookie cutters about 1 inch deep. In small bowl, microwave candy coating on High 1 to 2 minutes, stirring every 30 seconds, until melted and smooth. Dip tops of treats in coating, or drizzle coating over top of each. Sprinkle with edible glitter.

Tips from the Betty Crocker Kitchens

  • tip 1
    For super-easy cleanup, line your baking pan with foil that is longer than the pan. Spray the bottom of the foil as directed. When treats are cool, lift them out of the pan by the foil "handles," peel back foil and cut.

    No-Bake Cereal Surprises: In very large bowl, place cereal. In 3-quart saucepan, heat butter and marshmallows over low heat, stirring constantly, until melted and smooth. Pour over cereal; stir until cereal is well coated. Let stand 5 minutes or until cool enough to handle. For each treat, lightly butter hands and shape 1/4 cup cereal mixture around 1 large gumdrop or milk chocolate candy drop or piece. Immediately roll each in candy sprinkles.
