Ingredients

  • 1 1/2 cups Golden Grahams cereal
  • 1 1/2 cups Honey Nut Cheerios cereal
  • 1/4 cup butter
  • 1 bag of marshmallows
  • 1- 12 ounce bag of Yellow candy melts

Garnish

  • Candy eyes
  • 8 ounce Blue Candy Wafers melted

Instructions

  • Melt butter and marshmallows together in a large pot over medium heat. Stir continuously
  • When marshmallows are starting to melt, but still lumpy, add the yellow candy melts, reserving just a few to melt and add the eyes on later, and continue to stir until they are all melted together
  • Add in cereals, and stir until well incorporated, feel free to adjust the amount of cereal as you like to achieve your preferred marshmallow to cereal ratio.
  • Remove from heat, and being careful not to burn yourself, scoop out some of the mixture and form into a "minion" shape using your hands. It helps to spray hands with non-stick cooking spray first.
  • Let the minion base set up for 3-5 minutes, then melt the reserved yellow candy wafers in the microwave for about 30-45 seconds in a microwave safe bowl, and use the melted candy wafer like a glue to attach the candy eyes to the bodies of the minions.
  • Melt the blue candy wafers in a microwave safe bowl by heating for 30 seconds, then stirring, and repeating until melted.
  • Pour melted blue candy wafers into a plastic bag, cut off one tip, and use it to pipe on the overalls for your minions
  • Garnish further as desired with candy!
