This is a great recipe to use up stale left over cereal.  It is also a good one for the hotter months since it doesn’t require the use of your oven.  The refined sugar in the marshmallows is not healthy but the cereal, nuts, fruit, and seeds that get gobbled up are.

Ingredients

7 cups of cereal medley of your choice (corn flakes, bran flakes, cheerios, rice crispies, oats)
40 large marshmallows
1/4 cup toasted nuts medley of your choice (cashews, almonds,  pistachios, walnuts, pecans)
1/2 cup dried fruit medley of your choice (cranberries, cherries, pineapple, pears, white raisins)
1/4 cup toasted seeds  medley  of your choice (pumpkin seeds, sunflower seeds, flack seeds, hemp seeds)
3 tbsp unsalted butter
2 tsp vanilla

Method

In a large pot over medium low heat melt butter and marshmallows.  Stirring occasionally until all lumps are gone and mixture is smooth. 
Add vanilla, stir to combine. 
Add, cereal, nuts and fruit to marshmallow mixture.
Stir to combine and until all cereal, nuts, seeds and fruit are coated in marshmallow mixture.
Spread into large casserole dish coated in cooking spray.  Flatten  mixture with back of large spoon.  Cool on counter and cut into squares.
