Personal Notes:
You don't have to the the alternate rows of cornflakes and marshmallows unless you are feeling decorative. If you are lazy like I am, you can just sprinkle the cornflakes evenly and then sprinkle on the marshmallows evenly.

Also, to make it extra delicious, try using cinnamon cornflakes or adding cinnamon to the crumb mixture.
