Sweet, satisfying cereal treats have never been easier! Melt marshmallows and butter, toss with your favorite cereal, press into a square and serve. Or, don’t! We definitely approve of eating warm marshmallow treats straight from the Anyday dish.

All of Anyday’s recipes are tested (and retested!) in many different microwaves and home kitchens to make sure they work — and work well.

[[video-wattage]]

To find your microwave’s wattage, look at the front panel, the side of the door, in the back, in the user manual, or Google the model number. If both an input and output wattage are listed, use the output.

Wattage translates to how powerful the microwave is. The higher the wattage, the faster your food will cook. The lower the wattage, the longer the cook time.

When in doubt, start with less time — you can always add more.

Dish

The Medium Deep Dish

Ingredients

  • tablespoons unsalted butter, diced
  • cups (4 oz) mini marshmallows 
  • 3 cups (95g) puffed rice cereal
  • teaspoon salt

Preparation

  1. Line an 8x8” tray or plate with parchment paper.
  2. Place butter and marshmallows in the Anyday. Cover with lid (knob lifted) and cook in the microwave for 1-1:30 minutes or until the marshmallows fully melt when gently stirred.
  3. Add salt and stir well. Add the puffed rice cereal and mix quickly until fully incorporated.
  4. Grease your hands with vegetable oil or cooking spray and transfer the cereal, pressing gently.
  5. Allow to cool completely, about 15 minutes. Slice into squares and serve.

Serving suggestions & tips

  • For Brown Butter Treats, brown the butter in the microwave according to this recipe.
  • For Chocolate Treats, substitute puffed rice cereal for chocolate-flavored rice cereal. 
  • For Raspberry Oat Treats, substitute puffed rice cereal for oat cereal and add freeze dried raspberries. 
  • For Chocolate & Peanut Butter Treats, stir 2 tablespoons of peanut butter into the melted marshmallow mix and add chocolate chips.  

Recipe notes

  • You can use other cereals of your choice for equally delicious alternatives.
  • Microwave ovens vary, even with the same wattages. Adjust cooking times as needed.
