Ingredients

  • 3 tbsp butter
  • 1 bag 10 oz. mini marshmallows
  • 1/4 tsp orange zest
  • 2 tbsp orange juice
  • 6 cups Rice Krispies cereal
  • 1 cup dried cranberries such as Craisins

Instructions

  • In a large skillet over medium heat, melt the butter. Once melted, add in the marshmallows and stir. Let marshmallows melt completely, stirring occasionally. Stir in the Orange zest and juice. Remove the skillet from heat and set aside.
  • Pour in both the cereal and dried cranberries, carefully stirring (so none spills out) until everything's evenly coated with the melted marshmallow. Coat a 9x13 baking dish with non stick spray, and then transfer the cereal to the dish. Use the back of a greased spatula to gently press the mixture down and out, evenly into the dish. Let the treats cool completely, then cut into squares before serving.
