Notes

Recipe Substitutions & Variations:

Try different cereals. You can make this exact recipe using Cocoa Pebbles, Cheerios cereal, or a mixture of half Fruity Pebbles and half Rice Krispies cereal.
Add vanilla extract. If desired, add a splash of vanilla extract to the melted marshmallow and butter mixture.
Use large marshmallows. Ok to use large marshmallows if desired. Melt full 16oz with butter in lieu of holding any back to mix in at the end.
Use the stovetop. If you don’t have a microwave, you can still make this recipe! Simply melt the butter and mini marshmallows on the stovetop in a large saucepan over low heat.

Storage: Fruity Pebbles bars can be stored in an airtight container or zip-top plastic bag at room temperature for 3-5 days.

My #1 tip for making awesome Fruity Pebbles Treats is to gently press your Fruity Pebbles Cereal Bars mixture into your pan. Do NOT smash them into the pan! Pushing your mixture into your pan with a lot of force will result in hard and dense cereal bars. Gently pressing them will result in soft and airy bars.
