Tips for making Honey Nut Cheerios Heart-Shaped Treats
Although it’s a pretty easy recipe, I learned that it’s essential to bear in mind a couple of things to get it nicely done.
To get nice and rich melted marshmallows, start by melting butter. Be careful not to burn the butter, as it heats quickly.
Stir the marshmallows with a spat, looking at the bottom of the pot. As soon as they melt entirely, take them out of the stove.
Handling the marshmallows and Honey Nut Cheerios mixture can be messy. It’s easier to press the mixture using your hands and parchment paper.
