These Kix Cereal Marshmallow Treats are so easy to make and absolutely delicious! These ooey, gooey marshmallow treats are the perfect after school snack recipe or dessert!

We absolutely love Rice Krispie Treats with Chocolate Chips, but we were out of Rice Krispies! So we decided to make Kix Treats instead! We used similar amounts of cereal, butter, and marshmallows to make up this yummy snack. So it’s super easy to make and requires no baking!

These Kix Marshmallow Treats are ready in just minutes on the stove, but we like to let ours sit for a couple of hours at room temperature to set up.

Can you buy Kix treats?

No, you can’t buy Kix marshmallow treats in the store. You can always make them at home though!

Can you make these using marshmallow fluff instead?

Yes, while we haven’t tried it yet, we believe you could make Kix treats using our Rice Krispies with Marshmallow Fluff recipe!

Should Kix Cereal Marshmallow Treats Be Kept in the Refrigerator?

The Kix Cereal Marshmallow Treats can be stored at room temperature in a covered container.

How do you store Kix treats?

You will want to store the cereal marshmallow treats in an airtight container at room temperate. They typically last 5-10 days.

What You’ll Need

3 tablespoons butter
10 oz bag of marshmallows
5.5 cups Kix cereal
12 oz bag chocolate chips
1/2 cup additional marshmallows (optional)
Sprinkles to Desire (optional)

How to Make Super Easy Kix Cereal Marshmallow Treats

Spray a 9×13 pan with non-stick spray and in a large pot, melt the butter over low heat.
Add in your marshmallows once the butter is melted. Stir the mixture until it’s completely melted and smooth.
Pour in your Kix cereal and gently stir until coated in marshmallow mixture. (Don’t over stir!)
Remove from heat and while the mixture still warm, add in 1 cup chocolate chips and 1/2 cup marshmallows if desired.
Using a spatula sprayed with non-stick spray, pour the mixture into the greased 9×13 pan.
Let cool for about 2 hours and then cut into squares with a knife. (Spraying the knife with non-stick spray helps them cut evenly).

What should I do if my Kix Treats fall apart?

If your cereal marshmallow treats are falling apart, you may need more cereal in the mixture. Also, if the treats turn out dry, you need more marshmallow next time.

Do you press the Kix Treats in the pan?

In order to keep these Kix marshmallow treats soft, you want to gently pour the mixture into the 9×13 pan without pressing down firmly. A silicone spatula sprayed with non-stick spray is a great way to get them even in the pan.

Can you make these in the microwave?

If you don’t have a stovetop, you can always melt the butter and marshmallows using a microwave. You just place both ingredients in a microwave-safe bowl and microwave for 3 minutes. Stir after 2 minutes and repeat these steps until the mixture is smooth. Then add in your cereal and pour into a greased 9×13 dish as listed above.
