Scale
Ingredients
- 5 cups Fruity Pebble cereal
- 1/4 cup salted butter
- 4 cups mini marshmallows
Instructions
- Prepare Ingredients and Pan: 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 later.
- Melt Butter and Marshmallows: In a medium saucepan over low heat, melt 1/4 cup salted butter. Once melted, add 4 cups of mini marshmallows, stirring constantly until fully melted and the mixture is smooth, approximately 3 to 5 minutes.
- Combine Mixture and Cereal: Quickly pour the melted marshmallow and butter mixture over the Fruity Pebble cereal in the large bowl. Stir with a rubber spatula until all the cereal pieces are evenly coated with the marshmallow mixture.
- Press Mixture into Pan: Transfer the sticky cereal mixture into the prepared pan. Using a piece of wax paper or parchment paper, gently press the mixture evenly into the pan, being careful not to press too firmly to maintain a light and chewy texture.
- Cool and Set: Allow the treats to cool completely at room temperature for 20 to 30 minutes or place the pan in the refrigerator for about 5 minutes to speed up the cooling process.
- Cut and Serve: Once fully cooled and set, cut the treats into 9 squares and serve immediately. Enjoy your fun and fruity snack!
Notes
- To keep treats chewy and prevent them from becoming too hard, avoid pressing the mixture too firmly into the pan.
- You can substitute salted butter with unsalted butter and add a pinch of salt if preferred.
- Store leftovers in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days to maintain freshness.
- For a fun variation, try using other colorful cereals or adding sprinkles on top before the mixture sets.
