Ingredients
Scale
Main Ingredients:
- 4.5 cups honeycomb cereal
- 10 ounces (283 grams) mini marshmallows
- 1 cup roasted, salted peanuts
Binding Ingredients:
- 0.25 cup (4 tablespoons/56 grams) unsalted butter
- 2 tablespoons (30 milliliters) honey
Instructions
- Gently melt unsalted butter in a generously sized saucepan over low heat until it transforms into a clear, golden liquid (approximately or 57 grams).
- Gradually add miniature marshmallows to the melted butter, stirring consistently until they completely liquify and create a silky, uniform consistency.
- Introduce roasted peanuts and golden honey (or 45 milliliters) into the glossy marshmallow mixture, blending thoroughly to ensure uniform distribution of ingredients.
- Swiftly fold Honeycomb cereal into the warm mixture, gently tumbling and coating each crispy piece to guarantee complete coverage.
- Prepare an 8×8 inch (20×20 centimeters) baking pan by lining it with parchment paper or lightly coating with non-stick cooking spray.
- Immediately transfer the sticky, golden mixture into the prepared pan, using a spatula or clean hands to press and compact the treats evenly, creating a smooth, level surface.
- Allow the marshmallow treats to rest and stabilize at room temperature for approximately 30-45 minutes until they become firm and easily sliceable.
- Once completely cooled and set, slice into uniform squares using a sharp knife, creating approximately 9-12 individual treats.
Notes
- Gather all ingredients beforehand to streamline the treat-making process and prevent last-minute scrambling.
- Mix ingredients gently to maintain the delicate texture of marshmallows and preserve the crunch of Honeycomb cereal.
- Ensure pan is lined properly to prevent sticking and make removal of treats easier.
- Use low heat when melting butter and marshmallows to avoid burning or creating a grainy texture.
- Clean utensils immediately after mixing to prevent sticky residue from hardening and becoming difficult to wash.
