Ingredients
- 4 ½ cups Honeycomb Cereal
- 10 ounces mini marshmallows
- 1 cup roasted salted peanuts
- ¼ cup unsalted butter
- 2 tablespoons honey
Instructions
- Melt Butter: In a large saucepan over low heat, melt the unsalted butter gently without browning to prepare the base for the mixture.
- Incorporate Marshmallows: Stir in the mini marshmallows continuously until they are completely melted and the mixture is smooth, creating the sticky binder for the treats.
- Add Peanuts and Honey: Mix in the roasted salted peanuts and honey thoroughly to evenly distribute flavor and texture throughout the marshmallow mixture.
- Combine with Cereal: Quickly add the Honeycomb Cereal and stir well until every piece is coated with the marshmallow mixture, ensuring an even crunch in every bite.
- Press into Pan: Transfer the sticky mixture into an 8×8 inch baking pan lined with parchment paper and press it firmly and evenly to set the treats without air pockets.
- Cool and Cut: Allow the mixture to cool completely at room temperature so it sets properly, then cut into squares for serving.
Notes
- Use parchment paper to prevent sticking and make removal easier.
- Press the mixture firmly into the pan for better texture and shape retention.
- Store treats in an airtight container to maintain freshness.
- For a nut-free version, omit the peanuts and consider adding seeds or additional cereal.
- Ensure marshmallows are melted fully for a smooth, adhesive mixture.
