Crunchy cereal bars without cereal

Ingredients:

The base of the dessert

• 4 tbsp unsalted butter, chopped
• 1 package (280 g) standard marshmallows

Optional toppings (one of your choice)

• 2 packages (300 g) of mixed salted nuts
• 1 package (220 g) of sweet popcorn
• 1 package (400g) chocolate sandwich cookies, such as Oreo, broken into pieces
• 2 cups cinnamon teddy bear cookies + 2 cups chocolate teddy bear cookies + 2 cups honey teddy bear cookies + 2 cups animal graham crackers
• 4 cups potato chips + 4 cups mini pretzels
• 8 cups fish-shaped cheese crackers

Preparation:

1. Spray an 8x8 inch baking pan with cooking spray and line with parchment paper, leaving at least a 2-inch overhang on both sides.
2. In a large saucepan, melt the butter over medium-low heat. Add the marshmallows and stir constantly until melted, about 5 minutes. Remove from heat and stir in your toppings of choice until completely coated with the melted marshmallows.
3. Spoon the mixture into the prepared baking dish, press it evenly, and let it set completely at room temperature, about 1 hour.
4. Pull the paper tabs to lift the dessert out of the pan. Cut into sixteen 5cm square bars.
