Description
Indulging in a delightful treat that combines nostalgia and sweetness is one of life’s simple pleasures.
Ingredients
Scale
- 7 tablespoons butter
- 10 ounces miniature marshmallows
- 8 cups Fruity Pebbles cereal
Instructions
- Prepare the Baking Pan: Begin by preparing your 9×13 inch pan, which will hold your delicious treats. Take a stick of butter and rub it generously on the bottom and sides of the pan. This prevents sticking and ensures easy removal once they are set. Make sure to address all corners and edges to maximize coverage.
- Melt the Butter and Marshmallows: In a large pot, melt your butter over medium heat. Watch closely as it melts to prevent burning. Once the butter is melted, add in the miniature marshmallows. Stir continuously until the mixture transforms into a smooth, delicious goo. You want to ensure that the marshmallows are fully melted before moving to the next step.
- Combine with Fruity Pebbles: Once the marshmallows have melted completely and are glossy, remove the pot from the heat. Immediately pour in your Fruity Pebbles cereal. Working quickly, use a spatula to fold the cereal into the marshmallow mixture. Aim for a thorough mix, ensuring that all the cereal pieces are coated adequately.
- Pack the Mixture: After mixing, transfer the colorful mixture into your prepared pan. The mixture will be sticky, so dampen your fingers with cool water to prevent sticking. Use your fingers to press the mixture into the pan evenly, ensuring it’s compacted nicely. This packing step is crucial for creating firm treats that can hold their shape.
- Allow to Set: Let the treats cool to room temperature for at least 30 minutes. Doing this ensures that they set properly and can be cut into squares later without falling apart. Once cool, slice them into squares or rectangles for serving.
Notes
These treats can be stored in an airtight container for up to a week.
