- <H1>Step 3</H1><br /> <br><br /> <p>Stir gently until the color is well distributed but the marshmallows are still only about 80 percent melted, about 35 seconds (you should still be able to identify individual pieces within the melted ones). Note: If the marshmallows melt too much, the mixture will be too hot to handle—wait 1–2 minutes and then mold quickly!Add the cereal and mix well, until the marshmallows and cereal are fully combined, about 40 seconds. Do not overmix! </p>
