Marshmallow-millet Squares...yum!

[anerissara]

The other day I made some really yummy marshmallow-millet squares and I wanted to share the recipe. I called the company that makes the puffed millet (Arrowhead mills) and they said that the product itself is completely gluten-free but it's made in a facility that also processes wheat. They also said that they wash down all their lines between batches and are very careful about allergens, so I am pretty confident that it's safe...also, my celiac's friend and I both ate them and neither of us reacted. Just wanted to add that disclaimer, though...

Here's the recipe:

5 cups puffed millet (Arrowhead Mills makes it, there are probably others)

1/4 cup butter or butter substitute

1/2 cup peanut butter

1 pkg. marshmallows

Mini M&M's baking bits

Melt the butter in a pan, then add marshmallows a few at a time and stir until the whole bag is melted in. Then add the peanut butter and stir until combined. Pour the millet puffs into a large bowl, then slowly pour the marshmallow mixture over the puffs. Stir constantly (this isn't easy) to combine all the puffs with the marshmallow. When mixture has cooled slightly but is still stir-able, add about 1/2 package of the M&M's and stir until mixed in (wait until it is slightly cool, or the chocolate will melt!). Press mixture into a well-greased pan, let sit until cool and enjoy!
