Ingredients You Will Need
How to Make the Marshmallow Mixture
Step 1: Slowly melt the butter in a large saucepan on medium-low heat, stirring occasionally.
Step 2: Add 6 cups of Mini Marshmallows to the melted butter and fold them together until the marshmallows are covered in the melted butter.
Step 3: Continuing with medium-low heat, stir the mixture continually until the marshmallows are melted, and then remove the pan from the heat.
Adding the Captain Crunch Cereal
Step 4: Add the Cap’n Crunch Cereal to the marshmallow mixture.
Step 5: Fold together until the cereal is completely covered with the marshmallow mixture.
Steps 6-7: Add the remaining 1 cup of Mini Marshmallows and fold until combined.
Assembly Instructions
Step 8: Pour the mixture into a 9×13″ pan. We add a piece of parchment paper to the pan so it will be easier to remove the treats when they are cooled.
Step 9: Lightly press the mixture into the pan and let the treats cool.
Steps 10-11: Use the parchment paper to remove the treats from the pan and then cut them into individual servings.
Storing/Serving Instructions
Marshmallow Treats will last 2-3 days at room temperature in an air-tight container before they start to get stale. You can extend that timeline a few days if you store them in the refrigerator and then take them out about 30 minutes before you eat them. They freeze up great though and that is what we do if we want to make these ahead of time for a party or a family gathering. They defrost very quickly and taste great once they are defrosted. You can keep them in the freezer for up to a couple of months.
