Question, the recipe says “Add the cereal to the mixture and stir well….” it goes on a bit and then says “…Place the Reese’s cups on top and cover them with the remaining cereal mixture.” What “remaining cereal”? Do I not add all the 7 cups and mix? Or do I use more then the 7 cups listed?
Thanks!
Hi Kat, we address this in Number 1 of the instructions, you must have just missed it. It says to press HALF the mixture into the bottom of the baking dish, then add the Reese Cups and cover with the remainder. Hope that helps!! 🙂
LOVE it❤️❤️❤️
