Cranberry Oat Cereal Squares

Spray a 9×13″ pan with cooking spray and then line the pan with wax paper and spray again. Let the wax paper hang over the edges so you can just lift out the entire bar of cookies when they have cooled. Set the pan aside.

Place the butter in a large microwave safe bowl and melt on high heat for 30 seconds to 1 minute. Once it’s melted, add salt and stir. Add marshmallows and microwave for 1 minute. Check it and stir. Continue to microwave for 30 second intervals until completely melted, making sure that you stir to combine butter and marshmallows. Quickly stir in cereal and cranberries.

Immediately transfer the mixture into the prepared dish. Using a spatula coated in cooking spray press mixture into the pan firmly. Let it cool for at least one hour.

Lift the entire rectangle out of the pan onto a cutting board using the wax paper. Cut into desired size squares and remove the parchment paper. For school lunches place two smaller or one larger bar into a Ziploc bag and store in the freezer or store in a airtight container for up to 2 days.
