Rainbow Fruity Cheerios™ Bars

  • Prep 45 min
  • Total 60 min
  • Servings 1

Ingredients

  • 1 box (12 oz.) Fruity Cheerios™
  • 50 large marshmallows
  • 1/2 cup (1 stick) butter, cut into 5 equal pats
  • Non-stick cooking spray
  • Waxed paper

Steps

  • 1
    Place waxed paper on a large work surface where you will build your rainbow. Separate Fruity Cheerios™ into five colors. You need 1-1/4 cup of each color.
  • 2
    In microwave-proof bowl, put 10 large marshmallows and one pat of butter (about 1-1/2 tbsp). Microwave on high for 45 seconds. Remove from microwave and stir. Return to microwave and cook another 45 seconds on high.
  • 3
    Remove marshmallow mixture from microwave and stir it well, until it is smooth and completely mixed. It will be very liquid. Add 1-1/4 cups of the purple cereal to the marshmallow mixture. Mix well and place on waxed paper to cool just a bit.
  • 4
    Spray hands with cooking spray. When mixture is cool enough to handle but still warm enough to shape, mold the mixture into a long rope and place it in an arc around a 7 inch diameter bowl, pressing and pulling the cereal mixture until it is uniform thickness.
  • 5
    Repeat Steps 2-4 for the other colors in this order: green, yellow, orange and red. Press each color to the one before it so the colors stick to each other to form the rainbow.
  • 6
    Allow the rainbow to set completely before moving to a tray. Cut into thin slabs to serve.

  • Store uneaten bars in an airtight container.
  • Microwave ovens vary greatly so watch marshmallow mixture closely if you have a high-powered microwave.
