Ingredients
4 tablespoons Unsalted Butter
10 ounces Mini Marshmallows
6 cups Fruity Pebbles Cereal
1 teaspoon Vanilla Extract
Pinch of Salt
Instructions
- Grease a 9×13 inch baking pan with butter or line it with parchment paper to prevent sticking
- In a large non-stick pot, melt the butter over low heat. Low heat ensures even melting
- Add the mini marshmallows to the melted butter. Stir continuously until they are completely smooth and melted. Remove from heat
- If using, stir in the vanilla extract and pinch of salt to enhance the flavors
- Quickly add the Fruity Pebbles cereal to the marshmallow mixture. Gently fold until the cereal is evenly coated, working quickly before it sets
- Transfer the mixture into your prepared baking pan. Lightly press it down evenly using a buttered spatula or your clean, buttered hands. Do not press too firmly
- Allow the fruity pebbles rice krispie treats to cool completely at room temperature, about 1 hour. Then, cut into squares and serve
Notes
Always use fresh marshmallows; stale ones will not melt as smoothly.
Do not press the mixture into the pan too firmly; light pressure keeps them soft and chewy.
For easier handling, lightly butter your spatula or hands when pressing the mixture to prevent stickiness.
Allow the treats to cool completely before cutting for clean, defined squares.
Store your rice krispies treats fruity pebbles in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days. Refrigeration can make them hard.
If they become a little firm, you can microwave a single square for 5-10 seconds to soften it slightly.
Fruity Pebbles cereal is certified gluten-free, so these treats are naturally gluten-free if you also use gluten-free marshmallows. Always check your marshmallow label.
