• Don’t let the marshmallows boil. High heat will crystallize the sugars, making the bars hard instead of chewy. Keep the heat just warm enough to melt the marshmallows.
• When melting the marshmallows, allow the marshmallows to melt about 95%. The little bits of marshmallow will give the treats pockets of marshmallow. Or add 1 cup of mini marshmallows right at the end before stirring in the cereal.
• Gently press the warm crispy treats into the pan, so not press hard, or compact them.
• Don’t let the marshmallows to take on color.

• Generously spray the pan with nonstick spray before pressing the treats into the pan.
• Use a large chef knife that has been dipped in hot water and dried before each cut.
• Or spray a chef knife or pizza wheel with non-stick spray before slicing.
