WHAT INGREDIENTS DO YOU NEED TO MAKE FRUITY PEBBLES TREATS?

• Fruity Pebbles cereal - Post Fruity pebbles cereal is naturally gluten-free
• Marshmallows - most marshmallows are gluten and dairy-free but not naturally vegan.
• Butter - unsalted butter is what I prefer
• Vanilla extract

TOOLS NEEDED TO MAKE THE RICE CRISPY TREATS:

• large pot - you need a lot of room to stir the treats.
• silicone spatula - I spray my spatula with nonstick spray to help with easy cleanup.
• measuring cups - Pyrex cups are what I have on hand but other dry measuring cups will work.
• 9 x 13 pan - either glass or metal. Be sure to spray with non-stick spray.
• non-stick pan spray
• Chef knife or pizza wheel  - once again, spray with non-stick pan spray.

Microwave instructions

Storage Tips

Store your rice crispy treats bars in an air tight closed container. Do not refrigerate.

CHEF TIP FOR MAKING RICE KRISPIE TREATS

• Don't let the marshmallows boil. High heat will crystallize the sugars, making the bars hard instead of chewy. Keep the heat just warm enough to melt the marshmallows.
• When melting the marshmallows, allow the marshmallows to melt about 95%. The little bits of marshmallow will give the rice crispy treats pockets of marshmallow.
• Or add 1 cup of mini marshmallows right at the end before stirring in the fruity pebbles.
• Gently press the warm crispy treats into the pan, do not press hard, or compact them.
• Don't let the marshmallows over heat and take on color.

Tips for slicing:

• Generously spray the pan with nonstick spray before pressing the rice krispie treats into the pan.
• Use a large chef knife that has been dipped in hot water and dried before each cut.
• Or spray a chef knife or pizza wheel with non-stick spray before slicing.
