- Once your cereal is incorporated into the marshmallow, bacon mixture, gently press into a 9"x13" pan and allow to cool completely.
Notes
I do not line or grease my pan because the butter in the recipe is generally enough to prevent any sticking. If you're worried about your treats sticking to the pan, you can line with parchment paper, use some leftover bacon grease to grease the bottoms and sides of the pan, or spray with some non-stick spray.
