Ingredients
Scale
Dry Ingredients
- 4 1/2 cups Honeycomb Cereal
- 10 ounce bag mini marshmallows
- 1 cup roasted salted peanuts
Wet Ingredients
- 1/4 cup unsalted butter
- 2 tablespoons honey (add more for stronger honey flavor)
Instructions
- Melt the Butter: In a large saucepan, melt the unsalted butter over low heat to avoid burning and ensure it melts evenly.
- Melt the Marshmallows: Stir in the mini marshmallows gradually into the melted butter, continuing to stir until the marshmallows are completely melted and smooth.
- Add Peanuts and Honey: Mix in the roasted salted peanuts and honey thoroughly to combine all flavors and ingredients evenly.
- Combine with Cereal: Add the honeycomb cereal to the pan and stir quickly and carefully to coat every piece evenly with the marshmallow mixture.
- Press into Pan: Immediately press the mixture into an 8×8 inch baking pan lined with parchment paper or sprayed with non-stick spray to prevent sticking and to shape the treats evenly.
- Cool and Set: Allow the mixture to cool and set completely at room temperature to become firm enough for cutting.
- Cut and Serve: Once cooled, cut the treats into squares or desired sizes and serve as a sweet crunchy snack.
Notes
- Use parchment paper or a non-stick spray in the pan to prevent sticking.
- Add more honey if you prefer a stronger honey flavor.
- Press the mixture firmly into the pan to ensure the treats hold together well.
- Allow the treats to cool completely before cutting to avoid crumbling.
- Store in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days for freshness.
