Method

  1. Line a 9-by-13-inch baking dish with foil, ensuring that there is a 2-inch overhang on at least two sides. Apply butter to the foil.

  2. Set aside 1/2 cup of the colorful marshmallows from the cereal.

  3. In a large saucepan, melt the butter over medium-low heat. Add the standard marshmallows and stir constantly until they are fully melted, which should take approximately 5 minutes.

  4. Remove the saucepan from the heat and mix in the cereal until it is evenly coated.

  5. Press the mixture firmly into the prepared baking dish. Allow it to cool completely at room temperature for about 1 hour.

  6. While the mixture is cooling, place the chocolate in a microwave-safe bowl of medium size. Microwave it in 30-second intervals, stirring after each, until it is melted.

  7. Use the overhanging foil to lift the treats out of the pan. Drizzle the melted chocolate over the treats and sprinkle them with the reserved colorful marshmallows. Let the chocolate coating harden naturally at room temperature, which will take around 2 hours.

  8. Cut the treats into 18 bars.
