How to Make Fruity Pebbles Rice Krispie Treats

Prepare Your Pan: Start by spraying a 9 x 13 inch pan with non-stick spray to make removal easier later.
Melt the Butter: In a large microwave-safe bowl, melt 3 tablespoons of butter. Be careful not to burn it; this should take about 30 seconds in the microwave.
Add Marshmallows: Pour the entire bag of marshmallows into the bowl with the melted butter and stir until coated.
Microwave the Mixture: Place the bowl in the microwave for 45 seconds. After that, give the mixture a good stir to combine.
Continue Heating: Return to the microwave, heating for another 45 seconds, then take it out and stir again. The marshmallows should now be melted and gooey.
Combine with Cereal: Pour in the 6 cups of Fruity Pebbles cereal, mixing quickly until everything is well combined.
Press into the Pan: Transfer the mixture to your prepared pan, spreading it evenly. Use a spatula or your hands (dampened to prevent sticking) to press the mixture firmly down into the corners.

Storing & Reheating

To keep these treats fresh, store them in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days. If you want them to last longer, refrigerate them for up to a week. For even longer storage, you can freeze them in a freezer-safe container for up to 3 months. To refresh thawed treats, simply let them sit at room temperature for a bit.

Chef’s Helpful Tips

Avoid using cold butter; melted butter mixes better, ensuring everything binds nicely.
If your marshmallow mixture seems too sticky, a quick mist of cooking spray on your spatula can help with pressing it down.
Experiment with adding in extras like sprinkles or chocolate chips for an additional flavor boost.
For a softer texture, be cautious not to over-heat your marshmallows; aim for just melted and gooey.

These Fruity Pebbles Rice Krispie Treats are a true crowd-pleaser. Kids adore them, and adults often find themselves sneaking a piece or two, too! Experiment with different cereals, or mix in some chocolate chips for a sweet surprise.
