Notes
Lisa’s Notes
• You can use a 9x13 baking dish but they will be thinner.
• If you want to use regular sized marshmallows use a 16 oz bag. Use ⅔rds of the bag for melting and mixing with the cereal, then chop up the remaining marshmallows and fold those in with the cereal so they stay as chunks of marshmallow.
• If using salted butter don’t add the salt
