Ingredients
Scale
Main Ingredients
- 5 Tablespoons Butter
- 1/2 teaspoon Sea Salt
- 10 Cups Mini Marshmallows (divided: 8 cups + 2 cups)
- 1/4 teaspoon Vanilla Extract
- 1/3 Cup Marshmallow Fluff
- 2 Cups Rice Krispies Cereal
- 4 Cups Fruity Pebbles Cereal
Instructions
- Prepare the Pan: Lightly spray a 9×9-inch pan with non-stick spray to ensure easy removal of the treats later. Line the pan with foil or parchment paper, leaving an overhang to lift out the treats after they set. Spray the lining again for extra non-stick assurance.
- Melt the Mixture: In a large microwave-safe bowl, combine 5 tablespoons of butter, 1/2 teaspoon sea salt, and 8 cups of mini marshmallows. Microwave the mixture, stirring every 30 seconds to prevent burning, until completely melted and smooth.
- Add Flavor: Stir 1/4 teaspoon vanilla extract and 1/3 cup marshmallow fluff into the melted mixture until fully blended, creating a luscious and flavorful marshmallow base.
- Combine Cereals: Pour in 2 cups of Rice Krispies cereal and 4 cups of Fruity Pebbles cereal. Gently fold or stir the cereals into the marshmallow mixture, ensuring an even coating of all pieces.
- Incorporate Remaining Marshmallows and Press: While the mixture is still warm, fold in the remaining 2 cups of mini marshmallows, then lightly press the mixture evenly into the prepared pan using a spatula or wax paper for an even surface.
Notes
- Use a microwave-safe bowl for melting marshmallows and butter to avoid damage and ensure even heating.
- Spraying the parchment or foil lining helps prevent sticking and allows easy removal of the treats.
- Lightly press the mixture; pressing too hard can make the treats dense and less chewy.
- Store the treats in an airtight container to keep them fresh for up to 3 days.
- For larger batches, scale ingredients proportionally and use a bigger pan.
