To prepare, simply pour the desired amount of cereal into a bowl. Add your preferred type of milk, such as dairy or plant-based alternatives. The milk will soften the cereal slightly while the marshmallows will retain some of their chewiness. It can also be eaten dry straight from the box as a crunchy snack. Some people enjoy it as a topping for yogurt or as an ingredient in simple no-bake desserts.

How to keep the rest
To maintain freshness, store any remaining cereal in its original packaging or an airtight container. Keep it in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight. This will help preserve the crunchiness of the cereal and the texture of the marshmallows.
