Fruity Pebbles Treats Ingredients
You will need:
- 7 tablespoons butter
- 1 (10-ounce) bag miniature marshmallows
- 8 cups Fruity Pebbles cereal
PRO TIP: Always use the freshest marshmallows for this as they will taste the best. Also, make sure you use a fresh box of cereal you have just opened for the purpose.
Substitutions and Additions
FRUITY PEBBLES: If you find this no-bake dessert recipe is a little sweet by using all Fruity Pebbles, you can use 4 cups of Fruity Pebbles and 4 cups of plain Rice Krispies.
VANILLA EXTRACT: You can also try adding a few drops of vanilla extract and a pinch of salt to the mixture to give it extra flavor.
How to Make Fruity This Pebbles Treats Recipe
STEP ONE: Prepare a 9×13 pan by rubbing the bottom and sides with butter. This can be easily done by using one end of a stick of butter. Set aside.
STEP TWO: Melt butter in a large pan over medium heat. Add marshmallows, stirring until melted.
PRO TIP: You can also melt the butter and marshmallows in the microwave. Take a medium-sized microwave-safe bowl and microwave for 30 seconds. Stir then repeat 2 to 3 times in 30-second increments until everything is melted. Combine with the cereal in a large bowl.
STEP THREE: Remove the pan from the heat and immediately pour the cereal into the pan on top of the melted marshmallows. Stir as quickly as possible until well combined.
PRO TIP: If you don’t want the melted marshmallows mixture sticking to your hands, take some wax paper and press down on the mixture by hand with the wax paper in between.
STEP FOUR: Pour the mixture into the prepared pan. Dampen the flat of your fingers with cool water and use these to evenly spread the mixture into the pan, packing it down.
PRO TIP: Make sure you don’t over-compress the gooey fruity pebbles mixture into the bowl, or the bars will end up being really hard to eat.
STEP FIVE: Let the treats sit for at least 30 minutes before cutting them into squares.
