Add 1 teaspoon of kosher salt to the mixture and mix everything together until well combined.

Pour the butter mixture over the cereal and pretzel mixture in the bowl.

Use your hands to mix everything together until the mixture is evenly coated.

Prepare a baking sheet with parchment paper and spread the mixture out on it.

Bake in the oven at 350°F for about 10-20 minutes, stirring halfway through.

After 10 minutes, remove from the oven and sprinkle marshmallows and Reese's Pieces on top.

Return to the oven for a few more minutes to allow the marshmallows to melt slightly.

Let cool before serving.
