Ingredients
- 5 cups Fruity Pebble cereal
- 1/4 cup salted butter
- 4 cups mini marshmallows
- 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.
- 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.
- 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.
- 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.
- 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.
