Ingredients
Scale
Base Ingredients
- 5 tablespoons unsalted butter
- 16 ounces miniature marshmallows
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
Cereals
- 4 cups Fruity Pebbles cereal
- 2 cups Rice Krispies cereal
Instructions
- Prepare: Spray a 9 x 9-inch pan with cooking spray, then line it with parchment paper, leaving an overhang on the sides to allow for easy removal of the treats once set.
- Melt Butter and Marshmallows: In a large nonstick pot, melt the butter over low heat. Once melted, add all but 2-1/2 cups (120 grams) of the miniature marshmallows. Stir constantly over low heat until the marshmallows have completely melted into a smooth mixture.
- Add Flavorings: Remove the pot from heat and stir in the salt and vanilla extract to enhance the flavor of the marshmallow mixture.
- Mix in Cereal: Gently fold in the Rice Krispies and Fruity Pebbles cereals to the marshmallow mixture. Then add the reserved 2-1/2 cups of marshmallows and gently stir until everything is well combined, taking care not to crush the cereal pieces.
- Press into Pan: Pour the mixture into the prepared pan. Lightly spray your hands with cooking spray and gently press the mixture evenly into the pan, avoiding pressing too hard to keep the treats light and airy.
- Cool and Set: Allow the treats to cool and set for at least an hour at room temperature. Use the parchment paper overhang to lift the treats out of the pan and cut into squares with a sharp knife.
Notes
- For ease of mixing, separate some marshmallows before melting to add in the last step for texture.
- Press the mixture gently in the pan to avoid dense treats.
- The recipe makes about 16 treats if cut into 2-inch squares.
- Store leftovers in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days.
