A super simple snack that you can customise!

Marshmallows treats are a classic and are one of the quickest and easiest to make! With just a handful of common ingredients, these simple squares are great as a snack or for a party. Plus, you can make them your own by adding your favourite toppings or ingredients into the mix so you can try something new each time you make it. It's also great for fussy eaters and kids as they can make their own!

Tips:

1. One of the best things about this recipe is how flexible it is - you can use any kind of marshmallows you like (big, small, pink, white, blue, mini or even homemade marshmallows) and any kind of Rice Krispie cereal (branded or supermarket-own).

2. You can also add whatever toppings or filling ingredients you like! For mine, I added some chocolate chips to the mix and then on top I used mini marshmallows, M&Ms and sprinkles. I like this combo as it is fun and colourful, but also gives a nice change in texture. You can also add layers of other ingredients such as melted chocolate. Here are some ideas for you to try out:

   1. Chocolate Chips

   2. Melted Chocolate

   3. Smarties

   4. Peanut Butter

   5. Chocolate Spread/Nutella

   6. Nuts

   7. Marshmallow Fluff

   8. Favourite Chocolate Bar (Crushed)

   9. Coconut Flakes

3. If you want to make more or less, you can! Simply double or half the recipe and you can make as many as you like!

4. I cut mine into 8 even rectangles, but feel free to make your pieces as big or as small as you want.

5. You can use any size baking tray or food-safe box, just be aware that this might spread the mixture out more so will change the thickness of the pieces.
