Equipment
- Large saucepan
- 8x8-inch Baking Pan
- Parchment paper or nonstick spray
- Sharp Knife
Ingredients
- 4½ cups Honeycomb cereal
- 1 10-ounce bag mini marshmallows
- 1 cup roasted salted peanuts
- ¼ cup unsalted butter
- 2 tablespoons honey
Instructions
- Prepare the pan: Line an 8×8-inch baking pan with parchment paper, or lightly coat it with nonstick spray.
- Melt the butter: Melt the butter in a large saucepan over low heat.
- Melt the marshmallows: Add the marshmallows and stir continuously until completely melted and smooth.
- Add the flavor: Stir in the peanuts and honey until evenly combined.
- Add the cereal: Quickly fold in the Honeycomb cereal, stirring gently until all the cereal is coated.
- Press into the pan: Immediately transfer the mixture to the prepared pan and press it firmly into an even layer.
- Cool and cut: Let the treats cool and set completely, then cut into squares and serve.
Notes
- Work quickly once the cereal is added because the marshmallow mixture firms up as it cools.
- Lightly grease your spatula or hands if the mixture is difficult to press into the pan.
- Use roasted salted peanuts for the best sweet-and-salty contrast.
- For a stronger honey flavor, add a little extra honey to taste.
