Main Ingredients
- 1/4 cup salted butter (1/2 stick)
- 12 ounce bag marshmallows
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 4 1/2 cups rice krispies cereal
- 2 1/2 cups fruity pebbles with marshmallows cereal
Instructions
- Prepare the Pan: Line a 9x9 inch baking pan with parchment paper and spray it lightly with cooking spray to prevent sticking.
- Melt the Butter: In a large saucepan, melt the salted butter over medium-low heat for about 2 minutes until fully melted.
- Add Marshmallows and Salt: Stir in the marshmallows and salt into the melted butter.
- Melt Marshmallows: Continue cooking over medium-low or low heat, stirring constantly, until the marshmallows are completely melted and the mixture is smooth, about 2 to 3 minutes.
- Combine Cereal: Remove the saucepan from heat and gently fold in the rice krispies and fruity pebbles cereals until evenly coated with the marshmallow mixture.
- Transfer and Shape: Spoon the mixture into the prepared pan and use a spreader or clean hands to press and smooth it into an even layer.
- Cool and Serve: Allow the treats to cool completely in the pan before cutting into squares and serving.
Notes
- Use parchment paper and cooking spray to make removing the treats easier and prevent sticking.
- For extra flavor, try adding a teaspoon of vanilla extract when melting the marshmallows.
- Press the mixture gently to avoid crushing the cereal, maintaining its crisp texture.
- You can swap fruity pebbles for any colorful cereal to customize the look and taste.
- Store leftovers in an airtight container to keep them fresh and chewy.
