# Expert Tips:

01 -
  • It comes together in 20 minutes flat but looks like you spent forever planning it
  • The combination of creamy white chocolate and salty peanut butter is absolutely addictive
  • Its the kind of snack that disappears from parties faster than you can say lucky charms
02 -
  • The white chocolate mixture needs to be completely smooth before pouring over cereal or you will get uneven coating
  • Let the coated cereal cool completely before adding marshmallows or they will turn into a sticky disaster
  • This tastes best within three days, after that the cereal starts to lose its perfect crunch
03 -
  • Microwave your chocolate mixture at 50% power instead of full power for better control and less risk of seizing
  • Use a really large bowl for the initial coating or you will have cereal flying everywhere when you try to stir
