Ingredients
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 completely. Then add all but 1 cup of the mini marshmallows, stirring constantly to ensure they melt smoothly without burning.
- Add Remaining Marshmallows: Once the majority of marshmallows have melted, add the remaining 1 cup of mini marshmallows. Stir for a few seconds just to combine them without fully melting, then remove the saucepan from heat.
- Add Vanilla: Stir in the vanilla extract thoroughly to enhance the flavor of the marshmallow mixture.
- Combine with Cereal: Immediately add the Fruity Pebbles cereal to the marshmallow mixture and gently fold to coat all the cereal evenly with the melted marshmallow.
- Press into Pan: Transfer the sticky mixture into a greased 9×13 inch pan. Use a greased spatula or wax paper to evenly press the mixture down firmly to form a compact layer.
- Cool and Serve: Allow the mixture to cool completely at room temperature until set. Once cool, cut into squares and serve your colorful, chewy treats.
Notes
- Use low heat to melt the marshmallows slowly to avoid burning.
- Press the mixture firmly into the pan for easier cutting and better texture.
- Add a tablespoon of vegetable oil to your hands or spatula to prevent sticking when pressing the mixture.
- Store treats in an airtight container to maintain freshness.
- For a different flavor, try substituting vanilla extract with almond or coconut extract.
