Instructions
Step 1: Prepare the Baking Tin
- Line an 8-inch square baking tin with parchment paper, ensuring it hangs over the edges for easy removal.
Step 2: Melt the Toffee and Butter
- In a saucepan over low heat, melt the butter and toffees together, stirring constantly until smooth and fully combined.
Step 3: Add the Marshmallows
- Remove the saucepan from heat and quickly stir in the mini marshmallows. Mix until they are partially melted and well-coated in the toffee mixture.
Step 4: Combine with Rice Cereal
- In a large mixing bowl, add the rice cereal. Pour the toffee and marshmallow mixture over the cereal and stir until evenly coated.
Step 5: Press into the Tin
- Transfer the mixture to the prepared baking tin. Use a spatula or the back of a spoon to press it down evenly into the tin.
Step 6: Cool and Set
- Allow the mixture to cool at room temperature for about 1 hour, or until set. For quicker setting, place the tin in the refrigerator for 30 minutes.
Step 7: Cut into Squares
- Once set, lift the mixture out of the tin using the parchment paper. Cut into squares with a sharp knife.
Step 8: Decorate and Serve
- Drizzle with melted chocolate or add sprinkles if desired. Serve and enjoy!
