Putting it together

  1. 1.
    Microwave butter in large microwaveable bowl on HIGH 45 sec. or until melted. Add marshmallows; toss to coat. Microwave 1-1/2 min. or until marshmallows are completely melted and mixture is well blended, stirring every 45 sec.
  2. 2.
    Add cereal, cookies and pretzels; mix well.

Tips and Tricks

Special Extra:Melt 2 oz. white baking chocolate as directed on package; drizzle over cereal balls immediately after inserting pop sticks into balls.  Top with sprinkles or colored sugar(s) in the color(s) of your favorite sports team. 
Tip:Stir a few drops of orange food coloring into the marshmallow mixture before mixing in the cereal, cookies and pretzels.  Roll into 24 balls, then use black or brown decorating icing to decorate cereal balls to resemble basketballs. 
Make it Easy:Use a #16 scoop to quickly make the 18 cereal mounds.
