To enjoy Marshmallow Mateys as a breakfast cereal, simply pour your desired amount into a bowl. Add your favorite milk, whether dairy or a plant-based alternative. The cereal will soften slightly in the milk, while the marshmallows will become chewy. Stirring can help distribute the marshmallows evenly.

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