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
- Step 1: Lightly spray a 9×9-inch pan with non-stick spray. Line it with foil or parchment paper, leaving an overhang on the sides to lift the treats out easily later. Spray the lining lightly as well.
- 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 in between, until the mixture is completely melted and smooth.
- Step 3: Stir in the vanilla extract and marshmallow fluff until fully blended and smooth.
- Step 4: Add the Rice Krispies and Fruity Pebbles cereals to the bowl. Gently fold everything together until both cereals are evenly coated with the marshmallow mixture.
- Step 5: While still warm, fold in the remaining 2 cups of mini marshmallows. Press the mixture firmly and evenly into the prepared pan.
- Step 6: Allow the treats to cool completely before lifting out using the foil or parchment overhang. Cut into squares and enjoy!
Tips & Variations
- For extra flavor, try adding a pinch of cinnamon or a few drops of almond extract along with the vanilla.
- Use colorful mini marshmallows instead of plain for an even more vibrant look.
- Press the mixture firmly into the pan to help the treats hold together better and slice cleaner.
- Substitute Fruity Pebbles with your favorite colorful cereal for a different taste and texture.
Storage
Store the treats in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days for best freshness. For longer storage, wrap tightly and freeze for up to 2 weeks. To enjoy after freezing, let them thaw at room temperature. Reheating is not recommended as it may affect the texture.

FAQs
Can I use regular marshmallows instead of mini marshmallows?

How do I make the treats less sticky?
Make sure to spray your hands or a spatula with non-stick spray or lightly butter them when pressing the mixture into the pan. Also, press the mixture firmly to compact it and reduce stickiness.
