Ooey gooey marshmallow treats made with Honeycomb Cereal, salted peanuts, and a touch of real honey! A salty-sweet treat that’s as simple as it is delicious!
Marshmallows! Is there any food that can transport you back to childhood more quickly than marshmallows? Roasted, melted, baked, paired with peanut butter, or eaten straight from the bag, there’s something about them that just screams childhood fun!
What kid doesn’t love roasting them over a campfire, melting them into hot chocolate, or seeing how many they can stuff into their mouth all at once…? And have you ever played the marshmallow on a string game? Considering the way my kids obsess over them, I think it’s safe to say their love for them is strong. Almost as strong as their love for Honeycomb Cereal!
So what makes these marshmallow treats so drool-worthy? Everything! They start, of course, with Honeycomb Cereal…..and then add in salted peanuts, tons of marshmallows, and a touch of real honey to highlight the Honeycomb flavor. The end result is out of this world! An ooey, gooey, salty, sweet, crunchy, chewy perfect little treat.

This just reminded me how much I LOVE THAT CEREAL!!! Omg.
I have had such a nostalgic craving for Honeycomb cereal recently so I am LOVING these!
Love these bars Cathy…. a perfect kid (and adult!) snack
I don’t remember the last time I had that cereal! This recipe would be a great time to change that!
You are so smart. What a great and fun treat!
I happen to have a box of this in the house right now! Looks like the kids are getting marshmallow treats this weekend…
That is one of my favorite cereals ever! Love this treat!
I think my jaw just dropped. You have NO idea my love of honeycomb. It was by far one of my favorite cereals when I was growing up too and now being preggo I found my next craving….!!!
I haven’t had that cereal in AGES!! This brings back all kinds of memories! These little treats sound awesome!
Honeycomb was my favorite sweet cereal growing up — I love this great krispie treat version! 🙂
this looks like such a fun treat!
This is one of my favorite cereals growing up as a kid! Love the way you made these into treats!
Thank you so much for these! My daughter wants a bee and butterfly themed 3rd birthday and these are going to be a huge hit!!!
Awww, I hope she loves them, Becky! Thanks so much for stopping by! 🙂
Has anybody tried using the big s’more marshmallows? I have some of those leftover…
If I wanted to leave out the peanuts would I need to change the amount of cereal used?
Yes, you could substitute an extra cup of cereal for the peanuts OR for extra gooey treats, just omit the peanuts.
If I don’t have peanuts on hand I add kosher salt and that’s a great combo
How many servings does it come out to be
12-16, depending on how you cut them.
Simply outstanding recipe. Well balanced flavors. Thank you for sharing.
These Honeycomb Marshmallow Treats look absolutely delightful! I love the combination of flavors and the beautiful presentation. Perfect for a summer day or any sweet occasion. Can’t wait to try making them!
