Notes
Helpful Tip
Marshmallows make this mixture STICKY! Spray the back of a large spoon or spatula with nonstick spray. It will make flattening the cereal mixture much easier. Other cereal treats. Apple Jacks apples Special K cereal barsNutrition (I am not a nutritionist. These are estimates only)
