Description
Honeycomb marshmallow treats combine classic comfort with nostalgic sweetness. Crisp cereal, gooey marshmallows, and golden honeycomb pieces create a delightful snack you’ll crave again and again.
Ingredients
Scale
- 10 oz (283 g) mini marshmallows
- 4.5 cups honeycomb cereal
- 1 cup roasted, salted peanuts
- 4 tbsps (¼ cup/56 g) unsalted butter
- 2 tbsps (30 mL) honey
Instructions
- Melt Butter: Heat unsalted butter in a large saucepan over low flame until it transforms into a translucent golden liquid, creating a smooth base for the treats.
- Marshmallow Fusion: Add miniature marshmallows to the melted butter, stirring continuously until they dissolve completely, forming a creamy, homogeneous mixture that glistens with sweetness.
- Flavor Infusion: Pour golden honey and sprinkle roasted peanuts into the marshmallow blend, stirring vigorously to ensure every morsel is coated with rich, nutty goodness.
- Cereal Integration: Gently fold Honeycomb cereal into the warm concoction, tumbling the crisp pieces until they’re thoroughly enrobed in the sticky, sweet mixture.
- Prepare Pan: Line an 8×8 inch baking pan with parchment paper or lightly grease with non-stick spray, creating a perfect vessel for the treats.
- Compress and Set: Transfer the golden mixture into the prepared pan, using a spatula or clean hands to press and smooth the surface, ensuring an even distribution of ingredients.
- Cool and Slice: Allow the treats to rest at room temperature for 30-45 minutes until firm, then cut into uniform squares using a sharp knife, revealing the golden, honeycomb-studded delicacy.
Notes
- Butter Warming Technique: Use low heat to prevent burning and achieve a smooth, golden melt without scorching.
- Marshmallow Melting Tip: Stir constantly to create a silky, uniform texture and prevent sticking or burning at the bottom of the pan.
- Ingredient Distribution Strategy: Mix peanuts and honey thoroughly to ensure every bite has balanced flavor and crunch.
- Cooling and Setting Wisdom: Allow treats to rest at room temperature for precise setting, which helps achieve perfect cutting and optimal texture.
