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.

Has anybody tried using the big s’more marshmallows? I have some of those leftover…
Cassie says
If I wanted to leave out the peanuts would I need to change the amount of cereal used?
Cathy Trochelman says
Yes, you could substitute an extra cup of cereal for the peanuts OR for extra gooey treats, just omit the peanuts.
Thomas Shileny says
If I don’t have peanuts on hand I add kosher salt and that’s a great combo
Elaine says

Cathy Trochelman says
12-16, depending on how you cut them.
