Ingredients
Ingredients
- 5 cups Fruity Pebble cereal
- 1/4 cup salted butter
- 4 cups mini marshmallows
Instructions
- Prepare the Pan: Lightly grease an 8×8-inch pan with 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 melted, add 4 cups mini marshmallows and stir constantly until fully melted and smooth, about 3 to 5 minutes.
- Mix with Cereal: Immediately pour the melted marshmallow mixture over 5 cups Fruity Pebble cereal in a large mixing bowl. Stir with a rubber spatula until the cereal is evenly coated.
- Press into Pan: Transfer the coated cereal mixture into the prepared 8×8-inch pan. Using wax or parchment paper, press the mixture evenly into the pan without pressing too hard to maintain a light and chewy texture.
- Cool: Allow the treats to cool completely at room temperature, about 20 to 30 minutes. For quicker setting, place the pan in the refrigerator for about 5 minutes.
- Cut and Serve: Once cooled and set, cut into 9 squares and serve.
Notes
- For extra flavor, try adding a pinch of vanilla extract to the melted marshmallow mixture.
- Use parchment paper to press and shape the treats to avoid sticking and ensure an even surface.
- Store leftovers in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days.
- Press gently when transferring the mixture to keep the treats light and chewy rather than dense.
