Fruity Pebbles Rice Krispie Treats

Fruity Pebbles pancakes, French Toast, and all sorts of other crazy concoctions are showing up on restaurant menus. I’m not sure how I missed this trend and pretty sure I’m not going to try most of them, but these are really kinda fun, bright and tasty. Don’t press on them too hard while putting them in the pan because the lightness is important and makes an airy nice texture.

Calories 166kcal

Ingredients

5 tablespoons unsalted margarine
1 bag 10 ounce mini marshmallows, separated
1/4 teaspoon fine kosher salt if using table salt, use 1/8 teaspoon
1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract
2 cups Rice Krispie cereal
4 cups Fruity Pebbles

Instructions

Line a 9×9 pan with parchment paper with an overhang for easy removal. Spray parchment paper with cooking spray. Set aside.
In a large Dutch oven, preferably nonstick (if you own one) melt the margarine over low heat. Once completely melted, add in ALL BUT 2 and 1/2 cups of the marshmallows. Stir constantly, keeping the heat on low, until the marshmallows are completely melted.
As soon as the marshmallows are just melted, remove the pot from the heat. Stir in the salt and vanilla extract. Then add the rice krispie cereal and fruity pebbles very gently. Stir in the reserved 2 and 1/2 cups marshmallows until just combined.
Pour the mixture into a lined and prepared pan. Lightly grease your hands with cooking spray and gently (do not press hard/compact or you’ll get hard bars) press the bars into the pan.
Cool, cut and serve.
