Ingredients

11 tablespoons unsalted butter
11 cups mini marshmallows two 10-ounce bags, divided
¾ teaspoon vanilla extract
¼ teaspoon salt
9 ¼ cups Fruity Pebbles divided

US Customary - Metric

Instructions

Line a 9×13 inch dish pan with parchment paper leaving excess on two sides (this will make the treats easier to remove from the pan once finished). Lightly spray or grease the parchment paper.
Melt the butter in a large pot over medium low heat.
Add 9 1/4 cups of the marshmallows (reserve 1 ¾cup of marshmallows for later) and stir til the marshmallows are melted. Remove from heat.
Then stir in the vanilla, salt, and 9 cups of the Fruity Pebbles (reserve ¼ cup Fruity Pebbles for sprinkling on top) . Allow mixture to cool in the pot for about five minutes.
Fold in the remaining 1¾ cups of mini marshmallows.
Press the Fruity Pebbles crispy treats into a 9×13 inch pan lined with parchment paper. Do NOT press too hard or your treats will end up hard. Press only as much as needed to shape the Fruity Pebbles treats into the pan. Top with the extra 1/4 cup Fruity Pebbles. Press the Fruity Pebbles lightly so that they stick on top. Leave the treats to set for about 30 minutes.
Use the parchment paper to lift the fruity crispy treats out of the pan. Slice and enjoy!

Notes

Use fresh marshmallows: Marshmallows can get hard and stale if they sit in the pantry too long. Fresh marshmallows are key to getting soft Fruity Pebbles bars.

Microwave Directions: To make Fruity Pebble treats using the microwave, start by melting the butter and marshmallows in a microwave-safe bowl for about four 30-minute intervals. Stir after each interval until mixture is smooth and combined. Remove from microwave then stir in the vanilla, salt, and Fruity Pebbles.

Shaping into the pan: Avoid packing the Fruity Pebbles squares too much when you shape them into the pan. Press lightly and only as much as needed to spread them. Use two butter wrapper halves or wax paper lightly sprayed with baking spray or simply use lightly wet hands to press the mixture into the pan. It's a little easier and less messy.

Fruity Pebbles on top: The 1/4 cup of Fruity Pebbles on top adds a little crunch!

Slicing: Spray a long, sharp knife lightly with baking spray to make sure they don't stick to the knife. I usually cut mine into 24 squares. The number of squares will depend on how big or small you cut them.

Storage: Store these Fruity Pebbles treats in an airtight container. Store at room temperature for up to 3 days.
