Ingredients
Scale
Main Ingredients:
- 7 cups Fruity Pebbles cereal
- 5 cups mini marshmallows
- 2 cups mini marshmallows (for topping)
Binding Ingredients:
- 1/4 cup (57 grams) salted butter
Coating Ingredients:
- 1 cup Ghirardelli white vanilla wafers
Instructions
- Lightly coat a glass baking dish with non-stick cooking spray to prevent sticking and ensure easy removal of the bars.
- In a large saucepan, gently melt butter over low heat, creating a smooth base for the marshmallow mixture.
- Add the majority of marshmallows to the melted butter, stirring continuously until they transform into a silky, uniform liquid.
- Immediately remove the saucepan from heat and gently fold in the crisp cereal, ensuring every piece gets evenly coated with the marshmallow mixture.
- Incorporate the remaining marshmallows for added texture and pockets of gooey sweetness.
- Transfer the mixture to the prepared glass pan, using a piece of parchment paper to firmly press and compact the bars into an even layer.
- If desired, microwave white chocolate in 15-second intervals, stirring between each, until completely melted and smooth.
- Drizzle the melted white chocolate artfully across the surface of the bars.
- Allow the bars to cool at room temperature for about 20-30 minutes, or refrigerate for 10 minutes to expedite setting if using chocolate topping.
- Once set, slice into individual bars and serve.
Notes
- Customize your cereal choice to match personal taste preferences or dietary needs like gluten-free or low-sugar options.
- Use a silicone spatula when mixing marshmallows and cereal to prevent sticking and ensure even coating.
- Try different chocolate drizzles like dark chocolate or butterscotch for unique flavor variations.
- Press mixture gently into pan to maintain a light, airy texture without compressing the cereal too densely.
