Fruity Pebbles Treats

Bonus dessert!
Instead of making a second batch of glazed apple cookies (because I couldn't justify putting effort into a new batch at 10pm) I made a batch of Fruity Pebbles Treats to take to work on Saturday instead.

They're exactly the same as a Rice Krispies Treat, but you use Fruity Pebbles instead!

The recipe is SUPER easy, too!

  • One regular sized box of Fruity Pebbles (not the ginormous family sized box, just the regular size)
  • One bag of mini-marshmallows (again, not the huge bag, just the regular one)
  • 6 tbsp butter

Preparation

  • Grease the bottom of a 9x13 pan.
  • Pour the entire box of cereal into a (very) large bowl.
  • Put butter and marshmallows into a separate large, microwave safe dish
  • Heat for 2 1/2 - 3 minutes, stirring occasionally. (I let it go for a minute before the first stir, then stir every thirty seconds) Heat until all of the marshmallows are melted.
  • Pour the melted mixture into the cereal bowl and mix with a plastic (or wooden) mixing spoon until the cereal is evenly coated.
  • Pour the mixture into the 9x13 pan.
  • This is the fun part! Butter up your fingers to keep the mix from sticking, and press the cereal out evenly in the pan.
  • Let them cool completely, then cut and enjoy!

Tip from me: Using buttery fingers at the end adds that extra bit of sweetness to them!
