How to make Cheetos Marshmallow Crispy Treats
Ingredients :
- 2 bags (7 oz. each) crunchy Cheetos (Each crispy piece brings a vibrant orange color and cheesy crunch.)
- 3 Tbsp unsalted butter (Adds a creamy texture to the marshmallow mixture.)
- 1 bag (10 oz.) miniature marshmallows (Melt perfectly to create a gooey consistency.)
Directions :
Preparation
- Start by lining a 9×13 inch baking dish with parchment paper. This will help you remove the treats easily later.
- In a large pot, melt the butter over low heat.
Cooking
- Once the butter is melted, add the miniature marshmallows to the pot. Stir constantly until the marshmallows are completely melted and the mixture is smooth.
- Remove the pot from the heat and quickly fold in the crunchy Cheetos. Make sure all the Cheetos are coated with the marshmallow mixture.
- Transfer the mixture into the prepared baking dish. Use a spatula or your hands (dampened with water, if necessary) to press it down evenly.
- Allow the treats to cool at room temperature for about 30 minutes before cutting them into squares.

Tips to make Cheetos Marshmallow Crispy Treats
- Make sure to work quickly when mixing in the Cheetos, as the marshmallows begin to set as they cool.
- If you want your treats to be extra crispy, use less marshmallow or add more Cheetos.
- For a fun twist, try using different flavors of cheese puffs or mix in other treats like sprinkles or nuts.
Variation
You can add different flavors by using cheese puffs besides Cheetos, or even mixing in some dried fruit for added sweetness. You can also add crushed candy bars or chocolate chips for a richer flavor.
FAQs
Can I use regular marshmallows instead of miniature marshmallows?
Yes, you can use regular marshmallows, but you will need to cut them into smaller pieces for them to melt evenly.
Can I make these treats in advance?
Absolutely! You can make them a day or two ahead of time. Just make sure they are stored properly in an airtight container.
What can I do if the mixture is too sticky?
If the Cheetos mixture is too sticky to handle, you can lightly butter your hands or use a little cooking spray to help prevent sticking while you press it into the pan.
