Prep Time: 10 minutes
Cook Time: 2 minutes
Total Time: 2 minutes
Servings: 12 Treats

Ingredients

  • 12 Tablespoons butter
  • 2 bags mini marshmallows, divided (10 ounces each)
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 8 ½ cup Fruity Pebbles

Instructions

  • Spray a 9’’ x 13’’ pan with non-stick spray or line with heavy duty aluminum foil greased with non-stick spray. If using foil let it drape over the sides of the pan for easy removal of bars.
  • Remove two cups of marshmallows and set aside.
  • Slice butter into thin slabs so it will melt quicker in the microwave.
  • In a large microwave safe container place the butter slabs and remaining marshmallows. Microwave for 2 minutes. Remove and stir until butter and marshmallows are melted and combined. Quickly mix in cereal and stir until it is combined. Add reserved marshmallows and stir until they are softened and partially melted. You do not want them to completely melt as they provide those delicious pockets of marshmallow goo.
  • Press mixture into prepared pan. You can butter your fingers to help press them into the pan with less mixture sticking to them or use the butter wrapper to push the mixture into the pan. Damp fingers also work to help press the mixture into the pan without getting it stuck to your fingers.
  • Let cool at room temperature for at least an hour.
  • If you used foil you can lift the treats onto a cutting board and cut into pieces.
  • Otherwise cut them in the pan.

Notes

  • Store leftovers in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 2 days.
  • These will also freeze for up to 6 weeks. To freeze, place in an airtight container. Use wax paper between layers. To use frozen treats, remove from the freezer and let stand at room temperature for 15 minutes. HOW DO YOU MAKE GOOEY CEREAL TREATS?
    First, make sure your marshmallows are fresh. Even if they are a little stale, your treats won’t be as soft and gooey.
    For the best gooey treats, I like to save some marshmallows to mix in right at the end. They will partially melt creating gooey marshmallow pockets in your treats!
    TIPS FOR THE BEST TREATS
    Line the pan: I like to line the pan with enough foil, so there’s an overhang. Coat the foil with cooking spray, and then, once the bars are set, it’s super easy to lift them out in one piece for slicing.
    Work quickly: Once you’ve melted the butter and marshmallows, don’t wait to mix in the cereal. As the marshmallow mixture cools it will be harder to stir.
    Don’t press too much: When you press the cereal mixture into the pan, press enough so the cereal holds together but not too much otherwise your bars won’t be as soft.
    Butter your hands: To make it easy to press the sticky mixture into the pan, butter your hands or dampen them with water. This will keep the treat mixture from sticking too much. You can also use the wrapper from the butter to press!
