Ingredients

Scale

Ingredients

  • 5 cups Fruity Pebble cereal
  • 1/4 cup salted butter
  • 4 cups mini marshmallows

Instructions

  1. Prepare the cereal: Pour 5 cups of Fruity Pebble cereal into a large mixing bowl and set aside. Lightly grease an 8×8-inch pan with nonstick spray or butter to prevent sticking.
  2. Melt the butter and marshmallows: In a medium saucepan over low heat, melt 1/4 cup salted butter. Once melted, add 4 cups of mini marshmallows and stir constantly until the marshmallows are completely melted and the mixture is smooth, approximately 3 to 5 minutes.
  3. Combine marshmallow mixture and cereal: Immediately pour the melted marshmallow mixture over the Fruity Pebble cereal in the mixing bowl. Use a rubber spatula to stir gently but thoroughly until all the cereal is evenly coated with the marshmallow mixture.
  4. Press into pan: Transfer the coated cereal mixture to the prepared 8×8-inch pan. Using a piece of wax or parchment paper, press the mixture evenly into the pan. Be careful not to press too hard to maintain the treats’ light and chewy texture.
  5. Cool and cut: Allow the treats to cool completely at room temperature for about 20 to 30 minutes. For faster cooling, place the pan in the refrigerator for about 5 minutes. Once cooled, cut into 9 squares and serve.

Notes

  • You can substitute salted butter with unsalted butter and add a pinch of salt if preferred.
  • Use wax or parchment paper when pressing the mixture to prevent sticking and ensure easy removal.
  • For a fun twist, add rainbow sprinkles on top before the treats set.
  • Store leftover treats in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days to maintain freshness.
  • To make them gluten-free, ensure the Fruity Pebbles cereal used is certified gluten-free.
