Fruity Pebble Treats Ingredients

• Butter
• Marshmallows - miniature marshmallows 
• Fruity Pebbles Cereal

For the crispiest and gooiest cereal bars, always use the freshest marshmallows and cereal. These will taste the best and give the best results. Also, make sure that you don’t press too hard when you press the mixture into the pan or the bars will end up being hard to eat. 
If the recipe is a little sweet by using all Fruity Pebbles, you can divide the ingredients and use 4 cups of Fruity Pebbles and 4 cups of Rice Krispies. You can also try adding a few drops of vanilla extract as well as a pinch of salt to the mixture for some extra flavor. 
If you don’t want to use the stovetop, the butter and marshmallows can be melted in the microwave. Then pour marshmallow mixture over the cereal, stir, and add to the 9x13 pan as instructed.

How to Make Fruity Pebble Treats

FIRST STEP: Prepare a 9x13 pan by rubbing the bottom and sides with butter. This can be easily done by using one end of a stick of butter. Set aside.

SECOND STEP: Melt butter in a large pan over medium heat. Add marshmallows, stirring until melted. 

THIRD STEP: Remove the pan from heat and immediately pour cereal into the pan on top of the melted marshmallows. Stir as quickly as possible until well combined.

FOURTH STEP: Pour mixture into the prepared pan. Dampen the flat of your fingers with cool water and use these to evenly spread the mixture into the pan, packing it down.

FIFTH STEP: Let the treats sit for at least 30 minutes before cutting into squares. 

Can I make this recipe in the microwave? 

Yes, the butter and marshmallow can be melted in the microwave. Place them in a medium-size microwavable bowl and microwave for 30 seconds, then stir. Do this one or two more times until the butter and marshmallows are melted. Put the cereal in a large buttered bowl and pour the marshmallow mixture over the cereal. Stir and add to the 9x13 pan.

How do I keep my hands from getting sticky? 

Use wax paper to press down the mixture to prevent it from  sticking to your hands.

How do I prevent the bars from getting hard? 

Don’t press too hard when you press the mixture into the pan and store the Fruity Pebble Bars on the counter, and not in the fridge. Also, be sure to use the freshest marshmallows and cereal.

How to Store Fruity Pebble Treats 

ON THE COUNTER:  Store leftover Fruity Pebble Treats in an airtight container on the counter. Don’t put them in the refrigerator or freezer.
