How to Store
Store leftover Fruity Pebbles treats in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days or in the freezer for up to 6 weeks. Let thaw at room temperature before enjoying. If the treats seem a bit too firm, microwave them for 8-10 seconds, or until softened.
Tips for Success
- Use an 8×8 baking pan for thicker bars or a 9×13 baking pan for thinner bars.
- Be careful to not overcook the marshmallows or the treats will be hard. Take them off of the heat once they are starting to be gooey.
- The trick to making these treats is to stir quickly before the marshmallows start to set.
- I like to add about 1 cup of extra mini marshmallows into the mixture once it cools a little so I get bursts of marshmallow flavor in each bar, plus a unique texture.
- Lightly grease your hands with nonstick spray before pressing the treats to keep them from sticking to your hands, or use a piece of greased parchment or wax paper to smooth the treats.
- To make these in the microwave, melt the butter and the marshmallows for about 2-3 minutes. Once they have melted, remove the bowl from the microwave, and stir the butter into the marshmallows, making sure they are completely melted. Pour in the Fruity Pebbles, and quickly stir them in, until they are coated with the melted marshmallows.
