How to make Cereal Marshmallow Snacks with Cranberry Seeds

I'm famous for sneaking in healthy ingredients into my kid's treats. Typically they never know the difference, thus they don't complain! Adding the Cranberry Seeds to these marshmallow cereal squares was no different. The kids actually thought that they were just pretty pink sprinkles!

1. Start by spraying your 8-inch pan with non-stick cooking spray or lining with parchment paper.
2. Melt butter in a nonstick pan.
3. Add marshmallows and stir until smooth.
4. Remove from heat and stir in puffed rice cereal and cranberry seeds.
5. Carefully press mixture into 8-inch pan and allow to cool.
6. Once cooled, slice and enjoy!
