Ingredients
Unsalted butter – 5 tablespoons
Miniature marshmallows – 16 ounces
Salt – 1/4 teaspoon
Vanilla extract – 1 teaspoon
Fruity Pebbles cereal – 4 cups
Rice Krispies cereal – 2 cups
Instructions
Line a 9×9-inch pan with parchment paper and spray with nonstick spray. Reserve 2-1/2 cups of marshmallows for later.
Melt butter in a large nonstick pot over low heat. Add the remaining marshmallows and stir until completely smooth.
Remove from heat. Stir in the salt and vanilla extract until well incorporated.
Gently fold in the Fruity Pebbles and Rice Krispies cereals until coated.
Add the reserved 2-1/2 cups of whole marshmallows and fold gently to distribute.
Transfer to the pan and press down very lightly with greased hands. Do not pack tightly.
Allow to set for 60 minutes at room temperature before slicing into squares.
Notes
• Use fresh marshmallows for the best melt and ‘pull’ texture.
• Avoid high heat, which causes the sugar to crystallize and makes the bars hard.
• For a less sweet version, use a 3:3 ratio of the two cereals.
• Store at room temperature in an airtight container for up to 48 hours.
