Instructions

  • Melt butter over low to medium heat in large nonstick pot.
  • Add marshmallows to melted butter and stir continuously over low heat until marshmallows are almost melted.  Using a silicon spatula for this will help keep the marshmallow from sticking to everything.
  • Add the collagen and stir until dissolved and the marshmallows are completely melted.
  • Remove mixture from heat and add cereal.
  • Stir gently (the more gentle you stir, the more tender the bars will be) until cereal is completely coated.
  • Transfer the mixture to a resealable 8x8 container and gently press it down. When pressing into the container, get the silicon spatula wet first.  This helps to keep the mixture from sticking to the spatula.
  • Let these treats set for 30 minutes to set up and enjoy!
