Notes
Optional Special tips about sticking:
1) Rub the butter on the inside walls of the pot when melting the marshmallows.
2) Rub butter on the inside of the bowl when mixing the cereal.
3) Use non-stick foil side to press into pan or back of a buttered spatula-or large spoon. If it is just for your family, butter your clean hand to press into the dish.
