Notes
Store in an airtight container for up to 2 days at room temperature. For longer storage, wrap individually in plastic wrap and freeze for up to 2 months; thaw at room temperature before eating. Use low heat when melting marshmallows to prevent burning. Grease your hands or use a lightly buttered scoop to shape balls without them sticking. If you like softer treats, add 1 tablespoon extra butter or use slightly fewer cereal cups.
