Scale
Ingredients
- 8 tbsp butter
- 1 tsp vanilla extract
- 15 ounces mini marshmallows
- 8-9 cups Fruity Pebbles cereal
Instructions
- Melt Butter and Marshmallows: In a large saucepan over low heat, melt the butter. Add all but 1 cup of the mini marshmallows and stir constantly until melted and smooth.
- Add Remaining Marshmallows: Stir in the remaining 1 cup of mini marshmallows just until combined and slightly melted, then remove the pan from heat to prevent burning.
- Add Vanilla Extract: Stir the vanilla extract gently into the melted marshmallow mixture to add flavor.
- Combine with Cereal: Quickly add the Fruity Pebbles cereal to the marshmallow mix and stir until every piece of cereal is evenly coated with the marshmallow mixture.
- Press Mixture into Pan: Transfer the mixture into a greased 9×13 inch pan and press it down firmly and evenly using a spatula or clean hands.
- Cool and Serve: Allow the treats to cool completely at room temperature before cutting them into squares for serving.
Notes
- Use a greased spatula or wet hands to press the mixture into the pan to avoid sticking.
- Store leftover treats in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days to maintain freshness.
- You can substitute Fruity Pebbles with other rice cereal flavors if preferred.
- For extra chewiness, consider adding a tablespoon of corn syrup along with the marshmallows during melting.
