Special Tips or Information:

- Store no more than two days at room temperature in airtight container.
- To freeze, place in layers separated by wax paper in airtight container. Freeze for up to 6 weeks. Let stand at room temperature for 15 minutes before serving.
- VEGAN: when using vegan marshmallows and vegan butter, you might need to add a splash of almond or other non-dairy milk to just finish the melting process and make it creamy before dding the cereal. Works great.
