So there I was sitting on the couch thinking about Cheetos, like ya do, and it came to me: Cheetos. Marshmallow. Treats. Just like Rice Krispies Treats, but on crack—cheesy, crunchy, neon orange crack.

Cheetos Marshmallow Treats

Ingredients

• 2T butter
• 4c mini marshmallows
• 6c Cheetos, roughly chopped (I averaged 3 pieces per Cheeto)

Directions

1. Prep a 9×13 pan with whatever it is you might prep it with so the treats don’t stick in there.
2. Melt butter in a big pot on the stove.
3. Add in marshmallows and melt those as well, stirring occasionally.
4. Stir in chopped Cheetos until they are covered in melted mallow.
5. Smash Cheetos mix into your prepared pan and let cool.
6. Cut and consume.

The sweetness of the marshmallow takes a second to hit you. So you take a bite, and you are like, “Cheetos…Cheetos…Cheetos…oooh, marshmallow!” Awesome.

Inadvertent bonus: The marshmallow seals in the Cheetos, so while your taste buds are covered in cheesy-mallowy-goodness, your fingers remain dust-free!
