6 cups Fruity Pebbles Cereal

That’s it! Seriously, three ingredients to create a whimsical treat. You probably have all of these sitting in your pantry right now. If only every recipe were this easy!

Steps to Deliciousness

Prep Your Pan: Start by spraying a 9 x 13 pan with some non-stick spray. Trust me; this will save you a mess later!
Melt the Butter: In a large microwave-safe bowl, melt the butter. Just pop it in the microwave for about 30 seconds, and voilà! Your buttery base is ready.
Add the Marshmallows: Toss in the marshmallows and give them a good stir to coat them in that golden goodness.
Microwave Magic: Microwave the marshmallow mixture for 45 seconds. Take it out and stir. Then repeat the process for another 45 seconds. The marshmallows should be all gooey and melted!
Combine with Fruity Pebbles: Time to add the star of the show! Pour in the Fruity Pebbles and mix everything until the cereal is coated in delicious marshmallow fluff. Use a little elbow grease here; you want it well combined.
Spread and Press: Transfer the mixture into your prepared pan, spread it evenly, and press down firmly. Let’s get those corners nice and tight!
Cool and Slice: Allow the treats to cool. Once they’re set (maybe 30 minutes), cut them into squares and enjoy!

Cooking Tips

If the mixture feels too sticky while pressing it into the pan, dampening your hands with a little water can help.
Feel free to customize! Add mini chocolate chips or sprinkles for an extra pop of fun.
Don’t worry if your treats are a bit unevenly cut; they’ll still taste incredible!
