What You Need for a Marshmallow Bar Recipe

7-10 oz SWEET SHREDDED COCONUT
1 cups PECANS
1 tsp VANILLA
2 tsp CINNAMON
4 Tbsp unsalted BUTTER (plus butter to grease dish)
10 0z MARSHMALLOWS
3-4 cups CEREAL

How to make this Marshmallow Bar

Prep the ingredients first. Once you start melting the marshmallow on the stove, it will be much easier to throw the recipe together if you have the ingredients prepared and measured in advance.

Toast the shredded coconut and pecans in the stove. Just a little toasting will add a lot of flavor. Heat the oven at 350 degrees and toast the ingredients for 5-10 minutes, or until colored nicely. Keep an eye on them while toasting! Pecans can be expensive, and you don't want to burn them. If toasting together, watch closely, because one may finish toasting before the other.
Lightly butter an 8X8 pan, a slightly larger or smaller pan is fine, depending on how tall you want your marshmallow bars to be.
On the stove, heat a pot on medium low heat.
Add the butter and marshmallows to the pot and stir until marshmallow begins to soften.
Add in all of the ingredients, remove from the stove and stir until everything is mixed well.
Immediately spoon the mixture into your pan and DON'T spread it out right away, because it will be a sticky mess. Wait a a few minutes and it will be lass hassle to spread.
Once the marshmallow has cooled a bit, spread flat.
Let the dish sit for a while and firm up a bit before slicing. If you're in a hurry, you can set it in the fridge for a bit.
Once cool, you can drizzle the marshmallow bars with chocolate, or top with icing or glaze or peanut butter or anything you like. Or leave it as is, it'll be tasty either way.

Do you want to make Marshmallow Cereal Bars that kids will go crazy for?

This cereal bar recipe is tasty, but bran flakes, corn flakes, and granola do make these treats look a little on the healthy side. To add a bit of
color and excitement to the recipe, here are some optional ingredient ideas:
Add a more colorful cereal. Fruity Pebbles, Froot Loops, and Lucky Charms are good examples, but any multi-colored cereal will do.
What about dried fruit? Raisins, cranberries, pineapple, apple, chopped prunes, etc..
Chocolate chips, of course. Peanut butter chips will work great, and M&M's, or any chocolatey candy chopped into a convenient size to mix into the melted marshmallow.

Marshmallow bars are super easy to make, so give them a try next time you need to make a dessert treat and you don't have tons of time. And if you have even less time than it takes to make a cereal bar, take a look at this Southern Pear Salad Dessert recipe. http://www.myfoodchannel.com/pear-salad/ I know it looks silly, but it's delicious.
