Tips:

  • Use fresh ingredients: Fresh gumdrops, butter, and marshmallows will give your cereal bars the best flavor.
  • Don't overcook the cereal mixture: The cereal mixture should be cooked until it is just combined and the marshmallows are melted. Overcooking will make the bars dry and crumbly.

  • Store the bars in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days: You can also freeze the bars for up to 2 months.
