Slowly add the package of marshmallows & make sure you stir until they are all melted! 3) After, remove from heat & add the 6 cups of cereal. Make sure to stir again until completely coated. 4) While using a 3/4-cup measuring cup, shape five balls & put on the waxed baking sheet. Next, use a 1/3-cup measure to make five more balls. Place the smaller balls on top of the larger ones to create a snowman.
