Bottom of the Bag Cereal Bars

If you are like me, you have gone to the cupboard, reached for a box of cereal only to find that there is not enough for a serving, but too much to waste.  So what do you do? You put it back, then when you open the cupboard again 2 months later, the cereal is still there, as well as 5 more almost empty bags.  What to do...What to do?  In my son's best Higgleytown Hero Voice, " I know, I know!"

 

 

 

Bottom of the Bag Cereal Bars

Ingredients:

• All your old cereal
• Marshmallows
• Butter
• Chopped Nuts
• Chocolate Chips or Candy Pieces
• Frosting

Not a lot of measurement going on here, but the general idea is 1 cup of marshmallows for 3 cups of cereal and 1 tbsp of butter.

So I had about 10 cups of cereal, so 3.5 cups of marshmallows, 4 tblsps of butter, etc.  You can really add more or less depending on what you like. 

Melt your butter, add marshmallows to the melted butter, turn off heat and stir in cereal, nuts and chocolate pieces, alternating for full coverage flavor. Transfer mixture into a large, greased pan and use parchment paper to press it down.  Then heat your frosting in the microwave until is is the consistency of syrup, drizzle over cereal mixture and top with more nuts and chocolate.

Cool completely and cut into bars or squares.

Enjoy!
