Chocolate Almond Marshmallow Treats

This a great "go to" recipe for a quick, easy, and healthy snack sure to cure your sweet tooth.  (These have been kid tested and approved.)  Using Cheerios instead of Rice Krispies gives you more "nutritional" bang for you "calorie" buck.  =)  I love the extra level of flavor the almond extract adds to this treat.  Although, if almond isn't your thing, you can easily sub in vanilla extract.

Ingredients

• 6 cups Chocolate Cheerios
  
• 4 cups small marshmallows
  
• 2 tbsp light butter (Land O Lakes)
  
• 1/2 tsp pure almond extract
• butter flavored non-stick spray

 

Place marshmallows, butter, and almond extract in a very large microwave safe bowl.  Cook in microwave until melted.  (I cooked mine for 2 minutes, stirring half way through.)

Stir in chocolate cheerios.  Spray a 9 x 13 inch pan lightly with non-stick spray.  Spread mixture into pan.  Spray the back of a large spoon with non-stick spray.  Use the spoon to press marshmallow mixture firmly into the pan.  Cover and refrigerate at least an hour before serving.
