Recipe #361: Trixie Treats

Today was a busy baking day! Tomorrow I am having a picnic with my kiddos after our awards ceremony so I decided to make some sweet treats to celebrate the year. I had pinned some things on pinterest that I thought would be perfect for a fun picnic party because of the colors...The first one I found here. I just loved the colors and though of making the trix cereal into treats! I am going to call it Trixie Treats though because anything like trix will always make me think of Trixie, the character in Knuffle Bunny: A Cautionary Tale, one of my and my kiddos favorite books and authors. (don't get me started on some of my weird word associations!)

Anyhow, this was a super easy treat that I made quite easily with Alex wandering around my feed waiting to be picked up. (which really, this whole time, should have been my rating system for how easy or difficult a recipe was!)

You need:
1/2 bag of mini marshmallows
10 cups Trix cereal
1/4 cup of butter

• spray the sides of a pot with non stick spray. 
• heat butter in pot until melted
• add in marshmallows and stir until they are melted. (i also coated the bottom of the spoon with no stick spray)
• take off heat and add in trix slowly, mix occasionally 
• mix together until well blended
• spread in a greased 9x13 pan. spread out evenly with a spoon then let it cool
• cut into the size you want! I think I got 24 squares!
