Ingredients
- 1/4 c. butter
- 6 c. mini marshmallows
- 1/2 tsp. almond flavoring
- 1/2 c. Nutella

Instructions
- Grease a 9" x 13" pan.
- Measure cereal and cherries in a bowl. Measure chocolate chunks in a separate bowl.
- Melt butter for 30 seconds in microwave.
- Toss marshmallows in melted butter. Melt marshmallows in microwave for 1 minute. Every microwave is a little different. Once they are puffy and remove from microwave.
- Add almond extract and Nutella to melted marshmallows. Stir until smooth.
- Quickly add cereal and cherries and stir to combine.
- Add chocolate chunks. Stir again. I don't add them with the cereal because they get too melted.
- Pour into greased pan. Spread and press to edges.
