Move over Rice Crispies! When you are looking for a marshmallow crispy treat that is fresh and fun, you have to try these Honeycomb Marshmallow Crispy Treats!

They are a simple no bake recipe and put a fun twist on ordinary crispy treats. Honeycomb cereal is light, crunchy and has a touch of honey flavor. So let’s make them!

Ingredients to Make Honeycomb Marshmallow Crispy Treats

Ingredients:
8 cups of Honeycomb Cereal
1 10 ounce bag mini marshmallows
¼ cup butter
Optional: 1 tbsp. vanilla extract

Supplies:
Non-stick spray
13×9 inch baking dish
Large saucepan or stock pot
Heat resistant spatula

Plus, wax paper is a great tool for making crispy treats. It’s how I press them into the pan to even the top layer and reduce the air bubbles inside the treats.

Before you begin, spray your 13×9 inch baking dish with non stick spray. Be sure to be thorough and spray the sides in addition to the bottom.

Start by melting your butter on low. Whatever you do don’t melt the butter on high unless you want to end up with Brown Butter Crispy Treats!

Next, add the marshmallows. Before I begin to stir, I spray my wooden spoon with non-stick spray. It helps so much during clean up!

I love the process of melting marshmallows into a liquid, gooey mixture. All you need to do is just continue to stir and keep the marshmallows in motion until there are no solid pieces of marshmallow left. If you choose to add vanilla extract, add it at the end and blend thoroughly. Extract is made of alcohol, thus, we want to heat it as little as possible.

Once you remove your marshmallows from the heat, it’s a race against time! Be sure to act quickly through every step. You can even work inside the warm sauce pan if it’s large enough. Just be sure to remove the pan from the heat so that you don’t overheat the ingredients.

However, if you can work quickly, working from a bowl like this is ideal because the heating of the cereal that happens if you work from the pan, can cause your cereal to stale faster and become slightly softer.

Working from a cool bowl will keep your marshmallow treats crispy and delicious!

To work from the bowl, measure the cereal first and pour the marshmallows on top. Stir the ingredients just until evenly blended.

The immediately pour the mixture into the greased baking dish.

Now for some fun! Take a sheet of wax paper the size of your baking dish and spray it thoroughly with non stick spray.

Place it on top of the treats and press them down so that the top of the treats becomes smoother and more even.

Although they can be irresistible, these Honeycomb Marshmallow Crispy Treats should cool at least 1 hour before serving. 2 hours is ideal! Then cut them into squares and enjoy. Don’t tell these Neapolitan Rice Crispy Treats, but this Honeycomb Marshmallow Crispy Treat Recipe may be my favorite!
