Tips from the Pillsbury Kitchens

    Marshmallow mixture can be made in the microwave. In medium microwavable bowl, microwave butter and marshmallows uncovered on High about 1 minute 30 seconds, stirring 2 or 3 times during microwaving, until mixture is smooth.
  • tip 2
    If you'd prefer, use 2 cups Vanilla Chex™ cereal and 2 cups Cinnamon Chex™ cereal.
