No-Bake Cranberry Marshmallow Bars

A fun little take on the classic rice crispy treat; these no-bake Christmas bars replace standard crisp rice cereal with toasted oat cereal, providing a whole new texture and flavor. The addition of dried cranberries not only gives it a boost of flavor, but also a fun and festive look, too.

Ingredients:

4 tablespoons butter

1 bag (10 ounces) mini marshmallows

1/2 teaspoon salt

6 cups toasted oat cereal

1 cup dried cranberries

Directions:

Spray a 9x13-inch baking dish with cooking spray.

In a large saucepan, melt butter over medium heat. Add marshmallows and salt; cook, stirring occasionally, until marshmallows have melted, about 5 minutes. Remove from heat, and stir in cereal and dried cranberries.

Immediately transfer mixture to prepared baking dish. Using a spatula (or your fingers) coated with cooking spray, press in quickly and firmly. Let cool, cut into squares.
