Dessert on the fly: 2 minute marshmallow treats

Sometimes, I just have an uncontrollable sweet tooth. Problem is: I don't have any dessert ingredients or I don't feel like waiting for something to bake or I just don't want to dirty a bunch of dishes. So here's the solution! I give you... 2 minute cereal treats!

All you need is:

  • 7-9 marshmallows
  • 1-1&1/2 cup cereal (I used a fake Lucky Charms & Chex)
  • 2 tbsp of butter
Microwave the butter & marshmallows in a microwave safe bowl for 30 seconds on high. Stir the mixture together & add cereal quickly, just like if you were making Rice Krispie Treats. 



You can use more or less marshmallows/cereal depending on how gooey you like them. Refrigerate for 5-10 minutes or eat them warm! 


Makes about 2 servings. (Don't worry, you're not the only one who ate the whole thing;)

Pro-tip! Mix in a couple spoonfuls of hot cocoa powder (I used 1/8 cup) to the hot butter/marshmallow mix to make a chocolate version!
