# Expert Hints:
01 -
- The sweet and salty combo keeps everyone reaching back into the bowl
- Ready in ten minutes flat but looks like you spent forever planning it
- Kids go absolutely wild for the colors while adults secretly love it too
02 -
- Work quickly once the white chocolate hits the cereal or it starts setting up and becomes hard to coat evenly
- The sprinkles only stick if you add them while the chocolate is still wet so do not wait until later
- Store this in an airtight container or the marshmallows will turn into sad chewy rocks overnight
03 -
- Melt the white chocolate in 30 second intervals stirring between each to prevent seizing
- Use a really large bowl when tossing or you will have cereal flying across your kitchen
