Cuisine: American
Serves: 12 squares
Ingredients
- 3 tablespoons of butter
- 1 package of mini marshmallows
- 6 cups of Fruity Pebbles cereal
Instructions
- Prepare a 9x13 inch baking pan by lining it with parchment paper or greasing it lightly with butter to prevent sticking.
- In a large non-stick saucepan, melt the butter over low heat, stirring constantly to prevent burning. Use a heat-resistant spatula for best results.
- Once the butter is completely melted, add the entire package of mini marshmallows to the pan. Continuously stir the mixture until the marshmallows are completely melted and smooth, creating a uniform, glossy texture.
- Remove the marshmallow mixture from heat immediately after it's fully melted to prevent scorching.
- Quickly add the Fruity Pebbles cereal to the marshmallow mixture, gently folding and stirring until every piece of cereal is evenly coated with the marshmallow mixture.
- Transfer the mixture immediately to the prepared baking pan, using the spatula to spread it evenly and press it down gently. Avoid compressing too hard to keep the treats light and airy.
- Allow the treats to cool and set at room temperature for approximately 30-45 minutes until they become firm enough to cut.
- Once cooled, lift the treats out of the pan using the parchment paper and place on a cutting board. Cut into 12 even squares using a sharp knife.
- Serve and enjoy the colorful, sweet Fruity Pebble Rice Krispie Treats immediately, or store in an airtight container for up to 2 days.
Tips
- Use low heat when melting butter and marshmallows to prevent burning and ensure a smooth mixture.
- Work quickly when mixing cereal into marshmallows to ensure even coating and prevent the mixture from cooling and becoming difficult to spread.
- Grease your spatula or hands with a little butter to prevent the sticky mixture from clinging too much while spreading.
- For perfectly clean cuts, use a sharp knife and wipe it clean between slices.
- Store treats in an airtight container at room temperature to maintain their soft, chewy texture.
- For an extra fun twist, consider adding sprinkles or drizzling melted white chocolate over the top for additional color and flavor.
- Make sure to let the treats cool completely before cutting to ensure they hold their shape.
