Preparation
Step 1
Let the cherries drain on paper toweling. Then put between layers of toweling and press out excess juice. You want them as dry as possible so they don't "bleed."
Step 2
Butter a 13 X 9-inch baking dish. Melt the butter in a 3 quart pan on low heat. Add the marshmallows. Simmer until melted, add the almond extract and the cereal. Quickly mix, then add the cherries. Quickly mix then put into the prepared baking dish and press into dish with a spatula. Let set and cool. Cut into pieces 2" X 1 1/2" with a sharp knife. 55 calories each!
