Ingredients

8 tablespoons butter ½ cup or 1 stick
16 ounces mini marshmallows divided
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
7 cups Fruit Pebbles crispy cereal

Instructions

Prepare a 13x9-inch baking pan by greasing it well with butter.
Optional: Toast cereal in a dry skillet over medium heat, stirring frequently, for about 5 minutes until lightly toasted and crunchy.
In a large pan on the stove, melt the butter over medium heat.
Reduce the heat to medium-low; add all of the marshmallows EXCEPT for 1 cup.
Stir constantly, until the marshmallows are melted.
Remove from the heat, and stir in the vanilla.
Add the cereal and the remaining one cup of mini marshmallows, and stir to combine well, making sure there are no dry pockets of cereal.
Add the cereal to the prepared pan, and use a spatula to spread it out to an even layer, taking care not to press or smash it down. If a spatula isn’t cutting it, get your hands lightly damp, and gently press out the cereal. A buttered bottom of a measuring cup also works well.
Let the rice crispy treats cool for 30 minutes before cutting and serving.

Notes

Marshmallow Tip: Melt your marshmallows at a low temperature. Use fresh marshmallows and stick to the mini ones. They melt more easily and the cup of them thrown in with the cereal looks so cute.

Perfect Texture: Don’t push the mixture too firmly into the pan. You want them to be light and airy so gently spread them but don't smash it down.

Seasonal Variations: Holiday-themed cereals make these treats perfect for any celebration - try them with Christmas Crunch or Halloween cereals. You can also add food coloring to the marshmallow mixture to match party themes.

Cutting Technique: Use a sharp, buttered knife to cut clean squares without dragging or tearing the treats. Wipe the blade between cuts for neat presentation, or use a pizza cutter for uniform pieces.
