Ingredients
- 3 tbsp. trans-free margarine
- 1 bag (10 oz.) marshmallows
- 1 tsp. vanilla
- 1/4 tsp. almond extract
- 4 c. cornflakes
- 2 c. Cheerios
- 2 c. semisweet chocolate baking chips
Preparation
Step 1
Coat an 8x8" baking dish with cooking spray.
Melt the margarine in a large saucepan over medium-high heat. Add the marshmallows and vanilla and almond extracts. Cook, stirring, for 6 to 7 minutes, or until melted. Remove from the heat and stir in the cornflakes, Cheerios, and 1 1/2 c. of the chocolate chips, stirring until well coated. Transfer the mixture to the baking dish. Set a piece of plastic wrap over the mixture and, with a pot holder, press down firmly with the palms of your hands to flatten the mixture into the pan. Remove the plastic wrap and let cool in the pan for 30 minutes. Remove from the pan and transfer to a wire rack.
Place the remaining 1/2 c. chocolate chips in a small bowl set over a small saucepan of barely simmering water. Stir the chips often for 4 to 5 minutes, or until melted. Spread the melted chips evenly over the top of the cereal mixture with a small spatula. Allow to cool completely until the chocolate sets, about 45 minutes.
