Ingredients

  • 5 Tablespoons Butter
  • 1/2 teaspoon Sea Salt
  • 10 Cups Mini Marshmallows
  • 1/4 teaspoon Vanilla Extract
  • 1/3 Cup Marshmallow Fluff
  • 2 Cups Rice Krispies Cereal
  • 4 Cups Fruity Pebbles Cereal

Instructions

  1. Step 1: Prepare the pan by lightly spraying a 9×9-inch pan with non-stick spray. Line it with foil or parchment paper, leaving an overhang to easily lift out the treats later. Spray the lining lightly as well.
  2. Step 2: In a large microwave-safe bowl, combine the butter, sea salt, and 8 cups of mini marshmallows. Microwave in 30-second intervals, stirring after each one, until the mixture is completely melted and smooth.
  3. Step 3: Stir in the vanilla extract and marshmallow fluff until fully blended for extra flavor and stickiness.
  4. Step 4: Add the Rice Krispies and Fruity Pebbles cereals to the melted mixture. Gently fold everything together until all the cereal is evenly coated.
  5. Step 5: While the mixture is still warm, fold in the remaining 2 cups of mini marshmallows. Press the mixture lightly and evenly into the prepared pan.
  6. Step 6: Let the treats cool completely before lifting them out using the foil or parchment overhang. Cut into squares and serve.

Tips & Variations

  • For extra gooey treats, add a little more marshmallow fluff or butter.
  • Try swapping Fruity Pebbles for other colorful cereals to customize flavors and colors.
  • Press the mixture firmly into the pan to help the treats hold together better.
  • Use a buttered or wet spatula to press down so the mixture doesn’t stick.

Storage

Store the treats in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 5 days. To keep them fresh longer, wrap tightly in plastic wrap before placing in the container. Reheat briefly in the microwave if you prefer them warm, but they taste best fresh.

FAQs

Can I use regular marshmallows instead of mini marshmallows?

Yes, regular marshmallows can be used but they will take longer to melt and may create a slightly different texture. Cutting them into smaller pieces helps melt them evenly.

What can I do if my treats are too sticky?

Make sure to press the mixture firmly into the pan and let it cool completely before cutting. If still sticky, refrigerate for a short time to help them set.
