Flamin’ Hot Cheetos Marshmallow Treats

Serves 12 (serving size: 1 square)
Active 20 min. Total 35 min.

Ingredients:

Canola oil cooking spray
4 (8 1/2-oz.) pkg. Crunchy Flamin’ Hot Cheetos
1/2 cup (4 oz.) unsalted butter, cut into pieces
2 (10-oz.) pkg. miniature marshmallows (about 4 cups)
2 (7-oz.) jars marshmallow creme
1 tsp. orange sugar sprinkles

Directions:

1. Lightly coat a 13- x 9- x 2-inch baking dish with cooking spray. Set aside.
2. Working in batches, place Cheetos on a clean work surface and crush by hand until they’re broken into small pieces; place pieces in a large bowl.
3. Place 1 cup of the Cheetos pieces in a ziplock plastic bag. Using a rolling pin, roll until finely crushed. Reserve for garnish.
4. Melt butter in a large saucepan over medium-high heat. Add marshmallows and cook, stirring occasionally until smooth, about 3 minutes. Pour marshmallow mixture over Cheetos and stir until thoroughly combined. Scrape mixture into prepared baking dish. Place a piece of parchment paper on top of mixture, and press firmly to form a compact, even layer. Let stand at room temperature until set, about 15 minutes.
5. Lightly coat a rubber spatula with cooking spray, and spread marshmallow creme evenly over Cheetos mixture. Sprinkle top with orange sprinkles and reserved crushed Cheetos. Cut into 12 squares, and serve.
