How do I make 3 ingredient cinnamon toast crunch cereal bars? (scroll down for printable recipe card)

1. Prepare a 9×9 pan by spraying the pan with a nonstick cooking spray
2. Take a large sauce pan and place it over medium heat
3. Add the butter to the sauce pan and begin to melt the butter
4. Once the butter is almost completely melted add the bag of marshmallows
5. You will need to take a wooden spoon or spatula and constantly stir the butter and marshmallows
6. Once the marshmallows are completely melted turn off the heat and remove the pan from the stove
7. Take the wooden spoon or a spatula and combine the cereal and marshmallows completely covering the cereal
8. Pour the mixture into the 9×9 pan and press down the cereal evenly into the pan
9. You can either place this pan into the freezer for 15 minutes or wait and once the cereal has cooled then place it onto some parchment paper on a baking sheet and freeze. In my above cooking video, I had done the second suggestion, but the next time I will just place my 9×9 pan into the freezer.
10. Once the bars are solid, cut and enjoy.

Can I choose an off brand of cereal?

YES! You can choose an off brand of cereal. Plus, you can choose ANY cereal that you would like to make cereal bars with.

• Add peanut butter to the recipe or peanut butter chips
