In large bowl, mix sugars, peanut butter, butter, vanilla and egg. Stir in crushed cereal. Spread in ungreased 12-inch pizza pan.
Bake 12 minutes. Sprinkle evenly with marshmallows to within 1 inch of edge. Bake 5 minutes longer or until marshmallows are light golden brown.

COOKING GLUTEN FREE? Always read labels to make sure each recipe ingredient is gluten free. Products and ingredient sources can change.
How-To: Spread this mixture easily by spraying the back of a large spoon with cooking spray, then press the mixture into the pan with the back of the spoon.
Substitution: Go ahead and substitute some of your kids' favourite gluten-free treats. Use mini candy-coated chocolate baking bits instead of the mini chocolate chips for extra colour.
