Fruity Pebbles Treats

I love these Fruity Pebbles treats because they are soft, thick, and extra gooey. This recipe is literally five simple ingredients. It only takes 10 minutes, and your kiddos can help you out in the kitchen. These are the perfect no-fuss dessert for your next celebration.
Prep Time: 5 minutes
Cook Time: 10 minutes
Cool Time 1 hour
Servings: 16

Equipment

  • 9 x 13 inch baking pan

Ingredients

  • 8 tablespoons unsalted butter
  • 16 ounces mini marshmallows divided
  • ½ teaspoon vanilla extract
  • pinch salt
  • 9 cups Fruity Pebbles cereal

Instructions

  • Grease a 9x13-inch baking pan using real butter and set aside.
  • Melt butter in a large saucepan over low heat. Slowly add in mini marshmallows, reserving one cup for later. Stir marshmallows until they are completely melted. Remove from the heat and mix in salt and vanilla extract.
  • Add Fruity Pebbles cereal and very gently stir to combine with the melted marshmallows. Add the reserved cup of (non-melted) mini marshmallows.
  • Scoop the picture into the prepared baking dish, and very GENTLY press into the pan. Wet your hands slightly with water, so the mixture does not stick to them.
  • Let the bars cool at room temperature for one hour before cutting and serving. You can speed up the process by placing them in the refrigerator briefly for 15-20 minutes.
  • Cut into squares and enjoy!

Heather's Helpful Hints

  • Marshmallows: You can use full-size marshmallows in a pinch. They will just take a little bit longer to melt on the stovetop. Make sure your marshmallows are fresh for the best results. 
  • Making the Bars: Do NOT press the bars firmly down into the pan. Use a light touch instead. Pressing the bars down too hard will make them hard like a brick. I like to use my hands with a little bit of water on them to prevent sticking—this is a pro tip!
  • Storage: These bards will last at room temperature for up to three days. They can be made in advance and frozen.
  • Cleanup Tip: Wash your pan in hot water immediately to make cleanup a breeze. Don't let the marshmallow mixture to harden in the pan—it'll take you forever to clean!
