Ingredients
- 6 cups Fruity Pebbles cereal: The star of the show bringing vibrant colors and fruity flavors to every bite.
- 4 cups mini marshmallows: For that gooey chewy texture that holds everything together. Reserve an extra handful for added marshmallow pockets if you like.
- 3 tablespoons unsalted butter: Provides richness and helps achieve that perfect melt.
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract optional: Adds a hint of warmth and enhances the overall flavor.
Instructions
Prepare Your Pan:
- Line a 9x13-inch baking dish with parchment paper or lightly grease it with butter. This prevents sticking and makes cutting a breeze.
Melt the Butter and Marshmallows:
- In a large pot, melt 3 tablespoons of butter over low heat.
- Add 4 cups of mini marshmallows and stir continuously until the mixture becomes smooth and creamy. Using low heat ensures the marshmallows melt evenly without scorching.
- Stir in 1 teaspoon of vanilla extract (optional) to enhance the flavor.
Mix in the Cereal:
- Remove the pot from the heat and fold in 6 cups of Fruity Pebbles cereal.
- Use a spatula to gently mix until all the cereal is coated in the gooey marshmallow mixture.
Spread the Mixture:
- Transfer the sticky mixture into your prepared baking dish.
- Lightly press it into an even layer with a greased spatula or buttered hands. Be gentle to keep the treats soft and airy.
Let It Set:
- Leave the pan at room temperature for about 30 minutes to firm up.
- Once cooled, lift the parchment paper out and slice into even squares or rectangles using a buttered knife.
