Tips and Tricks

Cereal – You’ll need about one 10.5-ounce box of cereal in total. There are eight, one cup servings in a box this size. For this recipe, you will need both traditional Cocoa Puff’s cereal and Reese’s Puff cereal.

Butter – You will need 6 tablespoons of salted butter for this recipe. I suggest using a high-quality butter.

Marshmallows – For this recipe, you’ll need one bag of jumbo marshmallows. For tighter treats use 10-ounces of marshmallow. For gooey treats use the entire bag. Pictured here is the entire bag. Make sure your marshmallows are extra fresh! It really makes a difference. You’ll add the cereal once they are a little more than halfway melted.

Garnishes – Option to add extra mini marshmallows and dark chocolate chips on top of the Cocoa Puff Krispie’s as an extra garnish.

Pan – For this recipe, you will need an 8×8 inch pan. Option to grease the pan with butter or use parchment paper to prevent sticking.

More Tips / Tricks

Use a wooden spoon or rubber spatula to mix everything together in the pan.

For tighter treats use 10-ounces of marshmallow. For gooey treats use 12-ounces or the entire bag.

Once in the prepared dish, use a small piece of parchment paper to press the cereal mixture into the pan. This will prevent it from sticking to your spoon.

Do not press to hard, otherwise you’ll get dense treats.

Let it rest for 30 minutes before slicing.
