Egg Free, Dairy Free, Nut Free Cereal Treats

This is one of our favorite fast, versatile treats. I understand this isn't a new concept, but the more you experiment beyond the traditional recipe, the more yummy they are.

The top picture is S'mores Bars. I used Cinnamon Toast Crunch Cereal and safe chocolate chips. I added 1/4 cup of the chocolate chips with the marshmallows then another 1/2 cup of the chocolate chips with the cereal.

The bottom picture is Cocoa Pebbles cereal topped with sprinkles.



Cereal Treats

6 cups safe cereal (we like Rice Krispies, Multi-Grain Cheerios, Fruit Loops, Pebbles, Cocoa Puffs, etc.)
3 tbsp dairy-free margarine
10 1/2 oz bag mini marshmallows

Melt the margarine in a large saucepan over medium-low heat. Add the marshmallows then cook, stirring constantly, until completely melted. Remove the pan from the heat then stir in the cereal until well coated. Using wax paper, press the mixture evenly and firmly into a sprayed 9x13 baking pan. Cut into squares when cool.
*  1/2 cup Sunbutter can be melted with the marshmallows if desired. This is especially good with the Cheerios and Cocoa Puffs.
*  1/2-1 cup of safe chocolate chips can either be melted in with the marshmallows or stirred in with the cereal or 1/2 each way. This is especially good with the Rice Krispies.
