Tips:
- Use fresh marshmallows for the best results. Stale marshmallows will not melt properly and will make your treats tough.
- Do not overcook the marshmallow mixture. If the mixture is overcooked, it will be too thick and difficult to stir. This will also make your treats tough.
- Use a large bowl to mix the ingredients. This will give you plenty of room to stir and combine the ingredients evenly.
- Grease your baking pan before adding the Cheerio mixture. This will help to prevent the treats from sticking to the pan.
- Let the treats cool completely before cutting them into bars. This will help to prevent them from crumbling.
