Ingredients Equipment Method Notes

Ingredients
  

Main Ingredients
  • 0.5 cup unsalted butter 1 stick
  • 16 oz mini marshmallows divided (reserve 1 cup for later)
  • 1 tsp pure vanilla extract
  • 0.25 tsp salt
  • 6 cups Fruity Pebbles cereal

Equipment

  • Large heavy-bottomed pot
  • 9x13 inch baking pan
  • Silicone spatula
  • Parchment paper

Method
 

  1. Line a 9x13 inch baking pan with parchment paper, leaving an overhang on the sides for easy removal. Lightly grease the parchment.
  2. In a large pot over medium-low heat, melt the butter completely.
  3. Add all but 1 cup of the mini marshmallows to the melted butter. Stir constantly until completely melted and smooth. Immediately remove from heat.
  4. Stir the vanilla extract and salt into the hot marshmallow mixture.
  5. Quickly fold in the Fruity Pebbles cereal until thoroughly coated with the marshmallow.
  6. Gently fold in the reserved 1 cup of mini marshmallows so they remain slightly intact.
  7. Transfer the mixture to the prepared pan. Using lightly greased hands or a spatula, gently press the mixture evenly into the pan. Do not pack tightly.
  8. Allow to cool at room temperature for at least 45 minutes before using the parchment overhang to lift out and slice into squares.

Notes

Store in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days. Do not refrigerate, as this will make the treats hard.
