These cereal treats are a fun and easy snack or dessert that come together in less than an hour. They are great to make in this hot weather because they don’t require an oven. Instead of using traditional Rice Krispy cereal to make these treats, I used Rice Chex.

Tools:

• Large saucepan

• Rubber spatula

• Nonstick cooking spray

• 8x8 square pan

• Knife

• Cutting board

• Small sheet pan

• Parchment paper

Ingredients:

• 1 (10 oz) bag vegan marshmallows

• ¼ cup + 1 teaspoon avocado (or vegetable) oil

• 8 cups Rice Chex

• 1-3 cups (depending on how you want to decorate) chocolate chips

• Rainbow sprinkles

Instructions:

1. Melt the marshmallows with the oil in the saucepan on medium heat.

2. Continuously mix the marshmallows and ¼ cup of oil until the marshmallows are completely melted.

3. Mix in the cereal.

4. Spray the 8x8 square pan with nonstick cooking spray.

5. Pour the cereal mixture into the pan and press it down so that it’s even.

6. Let it firm up for 15 minutes.

7. Cut the treats in 16-32 pieces depending on how big you want them.

8. Melt the chocolate with the remaining 1 teaspoon of oil.

9. Decorate the cereal treats with the melting chocolate and rainbow sprinkles.

10. Freeze for 15 minutes so that the chocolate hardens.

11. Enjoy!
