Instructions

Add the puffed quinoa to a large mixing bowl so it’s ready to go. Lightly butter a 9×13-inch baking dish and set it aside.
In a large saucepan over low to medium heat, melt the butter completely.
Add the marshmallows and stir continuously until they’re fully melted and smooth. Keep the heat gentle so nothing scorches.
Working quickly, pour the melted marshmallow mixture over the quinoa. Stir until every little piece is coated.
Transfer the mixture to your prepared baking dish. Gently press it into an even layer using a spatula. (Tip: press lightly, that keeps them soft and chewy.)
Sprinkle the top if you’d like and lightly press them into the surface.
