- 6 cups Fruity Pebbles cereal ($2.34)
Instructions

- Cool and slice. Let cool completely before slicing and serving.
Notes
- Butter choice. Use salted or unsalted butter based on your flavor preference.
- Stirring. Stir only as needed. Over-stirring can make the treats firm and brittle.
- Pan prep. Grease the pan well with butter, nonstick spray, or line with parchment to prevent sticking.
- Texture. Avoid overheating the marshmallows to keep the treats soft and chewy.
- Storage. Store in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 2 days. Freeze for a few weeks and thaw at room temperature for about 15 minutes before serving.
