Equipment
- Ninja Possible Cooker Pro OR
- Pot on the Stove
Ingredients
- 4 Tablespoons butter salted
- 10 ounces mini marshmallows 6 cups, divided in recipe
- 11 ounces Fruity Pebble Cereal 6½ cups
Instructions
- Remove the butter from the wrapper and use the wrapper to coat the corners and sides of your 9 x 13 pan with a small amount of butter. This will help the parchment stay in place. Line the pan with parchment paper. Although this step is optional, it makes it easy to remove the marshmallow treats to cut them.
Ninja Foodi Possible Cooker Pro Directions
- Measure out 10 ounces of mini marshmallows and remove 1 cup for use later.
- Turn the Ninja Possible Cooker on high sear/sauté and immediately add the butter. When the butter has melted about 50%, add in all the marshmallows except for the reserved 1 cup. Stir frequently and allow the mixture to melt completely. This process is usually complete before the Possible Cooker finishes preheating. Turn the Possible Cooker off. Remove the pot and place it on a heat resistant surface and mix in the fruity pebbles until they are coated completely. Add the 1 cup of reserved marshmallows and stir to combine. The mixture will be cool enough now not to melt the added marshmallows.4 Tablespoons butter, 10 ounces mini marshmallows, 11 ounces Fruity Pebble Cereal
Stovetop Directions
- Heat a large pot (big enough for the marshmallows and cereal) over medium-low heat and heat the butter and marshmallows (except for 1 cup) until both are completely melted. Stir frequently while melting to avoid burning the mixture. Turn the stove off and add the cereal to the pot. Mix well to combine the cereal with the marshmallow and butter mixture. Add in the reserved cup of marshmallows and stir to combine. The mixture will be cool enough now not to melt the added marshmallows.4 Tablespoons butter, 10 ounces mini marshmallows, 11 ounces Fruity Pebble Cereal
Transfer and Cool
- Transfer the mixture to your prepared pan and spread as evenly as possible into the pan. Place a piece of parchment on top and press the mixture into the pan to compress the fruity pebble and marshmallow mixture. Remove the top layer of parchment and discard or keep it on top if desired. Let cool at room temperature for about an hour.
Cut & Serve
- Remove the Fruity Pebble treats from the pan using the parchment paper and place them on a flat surface. Cut into 2-2½" squares. Serve and enjoy!
Notes
Microwave Instructions
- Prepare your pan: Line a 9x13 inch pan with parchment paper and set aside.
- Combine butter and marshmallows: Place 4 tablespoons of butter and 4-5 cups of mini marshmallows in a large microwave-safe bowl (make sure it's large enough to hold all the cereal too).
- Microwave in short intervals: Heat on high for 1 minute, then remove and stir well. If marshmallows aren't completely melted, return to microwave and heat in additional 15-30 second intervals, stirring after each until mixture is smooth and fully melted.
- Add cereal: Immediately add the Fruity Pebbles cereal to the melted marshmallow mixture and stir quickly until all cereal is evenly coated.
- Add whole marshmallows: Fold in the reserved 1 cup of mini marshmallows.
- Transfer to pan: Pour the mixture into your prepared pan and use a buttered spatula or parchment paper to press it into an even layer.
- Cool and cut: Allow to cool completely (1-2 hours) before cutting into squares.
