Chocolate Cereal Treats (Gluten-Free)

Crunchy-chewy marshmallow treats aren't just for Rice Krispies anymore.  This batch used a combination of two gluten-free cereals that have great crunch and more fiber than Rice Krispies or Rice Chex.  If you can eat gluten, regular CheeriOs are also great in marshmallow treats.


3 Tbsp butter, plus a little extra for pan
1 oz. Baker's semi-sweet chocolate, chopped (or 1 oz. chocolate chips)
10 oz. miniature marshmallows
1/2 tsp vanilla
3 oz. Enjoy Life Crunchy Flax cereal
9 oz. Nature's Path Organic Whole O's cereal

Butter a 9 inch square pan.
Melt 3 Tbsp of butter and the semi-sweet chocolate in a Dutch oven or a large non-stick stir-fry pan over medium heat.  When the chocolate is fully melted, stir in the marshmallows.  Continue to heat, stirring occasionally, until the marshmallows melt.  Remove the pot from the heat and stir in the vanilla and cereals.
When the cereal is evenly coated, pour into the buttered pan and smooth the top, pressing down.  I find that it won't stick to my fingers if my hand is wet.

Allow the mixture to cool completely, and cut into chunks.
