  • Total Time: 1 hour 20 minutes
  • Yield: 16 squares

Ingredients

Butter and Marshmallow Mixture

  • 5 tablespoons unsalted butter
  • 16 ounces miniature marshmallows (see note 1)
  • 1/4 teaspoon salt
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract

Cereal Mix

  • 4 cups Fruity Pebbles cereal
  • 2 cups Rice Krispies cereal (see note 2)

Instructions

  1. Prepare the pan: Spray a 9 x 9-inch pan with cooking spray, then line it with parchment paper leaving an overhang for easy removal of the bars once set.
  2. Reserve marshmallows: Separate 2-1/2 cups (120 grams) of marshmallows from the total marshmallows and set aside for later use.
  3. Melt butter: In a large nonstick pot, melt the butter over low heat until fully melted, ensuring not to burn it.
  4. Melt marshmallows: Add all marshmallows except the reserved 2-1/2 cups into the melted butter. Stir constantly over low heat until the marshmallows have completely melted and formed a smooth mixture.
  5. Add flavoring: Remove the pot from heat and stir in the salt and vanilla extract thoroughly to blend the flavors.
  6. Mix in cereals: Gently fold the Rice Krispies and Fruity Pebbles cereals into the marshmallow mixture, being careful not to crush the cereal pieces.
  7. Add reserved marshmallows: Stir in the reserved 2-1/2 cups of marshmallows until the mixture is well combined and evenly distributed.
  8. Transfer to pan: Pour the cereal mixture into the prepared pan. Lightly spray your hands with cooking spray and gently press the mixture into an even layer, taking care not to compress it too much to avoid dense bars.
  9. Set and cut: Allow the bars to cool and set for at least one hour. Then, use the parchment-paper overhang to lift the bars out, place on a cutting surface, and slice into squares with a sharp knife.
  10. Enjoy and review: Serve your Fruity Pebbles Rice Krispies Treats and consider leaving a review to share your experience!

Notes

  • The softer and fresher the marshmallows, the better the texture and flavor of these bars.
  • You can opt to use all Fruity Pebbles cereal instead of mixing with Rice Krispies, but the treats will be sweeter.
  • For the best texture, enjoy the treats the same day. Store any leftovers tightly wrapped at room temperature for up to 2 days.
