Ingredients

8 tablespoons butter divided into thirds
15 cups cereal 5 cups of each cereal I used Froot Loops, Frosted Flakes, and Lucky Charms
9 cups marshmallows divided into thirds
non-stick spray
9 x13 or [10x10] pan

Instructions

Gather all your ingredients before starting as the process moves fast.

Prepare the pan that you are going to build your layered cereal bars in by spraying with non-stick spray.
In a glass or other microwave-safe bowl, add 3 cups of marshmallows.
Place 1/3 of the butter on top of the marshmallows. I cut it into small pieces and sprinkle on top of the marshmallows.
Microwave for 1 minute.
With a spatula prepped with non-stick spray, stir or mix the marshmallows and butter until completely combined.
Pour over one cereal type.
Stir to coat the cereal evenly.
Using your hands or a spatula (prepped with non-stick spray) and press the cereal into a single layer.
Set aside briefly and continue with the next layer.

Repeat these steps for the second and third layers, making sure the layers are as even as possible.

When finished, let set up for about 20 minutes.
Store in an air-tight container for up to 3 days.
