Cheerio Marshmallow Bars Recipe

When it comes to teaching children their way around the kitchen, it’s best to start off with some simple fool-proof recipes. As their confidence and skills improve you can then move onto more complicated recipes.

This Cheerios Marshmallow bars recipe is a quick and easy activity you can do with your child that doesn’t involve any baking.  The hardest part is waiting an hour for it to set in the fridge before you can start eating it!  The butter and marshmallows do need to be heated in a microwave though, so parent supervision and help is needed.

Ingredients

3 tbs butter
4 1/2 cups of mini marshmallows

Method
Grease a pan and put wax paper on the bottom
Get a parent to melt the butter and marshmallows together in the microwave. We recommend cooking for 30 second intervals until smooth to avoid accidentally overcooking.
Fold the cheerios into the the butter and marshmallow mixture, and spoon into the prepared pan.

Press into place with another piece of wax paper for an even layer

Allow to cool and then cut into bars.

Cheerios Marshmallow bars are great for birthday parties, picnic, afternoon tea play-dates or as a treat in your child’s lunchbox.
