Ingredients
- 5 cups Fruity Pebble cereal
- 1/4 cup salted butter
- 4 cups mini marshmallows
Instructions
- Prepare the cereal and pan: Pour 5 cups Fruity Pebble cereal into a large mixing bowl and set it aside. Lightly grease an 8×8-inch pan using nonstick spray or butter to prevent sticking.
- Melt butter and marshmallows: In a medium saucepan over low heat, melt 1/4 cup salted butter. Once fully melted, add 4 cups mini marshmallows. Stir constantly until the marshmallows are completely melted and the mixture is smooth, approximately 3 to 5 minutes.
- Combine cereal and marshmallow mixture: Immediately pour the melted marshmallow mixture over the cereal in the mixing bowl. Use a rubber spatula to stir gently until all the cereal is evenly coated with the marshmallow mixture.
- Press into pan: Transfer the coated cereal mixture into the prepared 8×8-inch pan. Using a piece of wax or parchment paper, press the mixture evenly into the pan. Avoid pressing too hard to maintain a light and chewy texture in the treats.
- Cool the treats: Allow the treats to cool completely at room temperature for about 20 to 30 minutes. For quicker cooling, place the pan in the refrigerator for about 5 minutes.
- Serve: Once cooled and set, cut into 9 equal squares and serve.
Notes
- Use wax or parchment paper when pressing the mixture to prevent sticking to your hands or tools.
- Do not press the mixture too firmly to keep the texture light and chewy rather than hard.
- Store leftovers in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 2 days for best freshness.
- For a fun twist, you can add sprinkles or drizzle melted chocolate on top after pressing into the pan.
