I saw this post over on Babble a while back, and it reminded me of something I ate once and wanted to try out for myself. I didn't realize that there's a recipe that's similar to this on the box of Fruity Pebbles, which I'll probably use next time, since these were a little too sticky and difficult to work with. The recipe on the box calls for more butter and a whole box of cereal. I think that would work better. These were still mushy when I cut them, but they did taste great, and went over well at the party.
Rainbow Krispy Bars
Babble
2 tablespoons butter
1 package mini marshmallows
5 cups Fruity Pebbles cereal
In a large pan, melt the butter with your stove turned to medium heat.
Use a wooden spoon to stir the butter Pour the whole bag of
marshmallows into the pot and stir them until they are melted and
mixed with the butter. Add the cereal into the pot and stir it up
until all of the cereal is well mixed. Pour the mixture into a large
bread pan which has been sprayed with nonstick cooking spray. Allow
bars to cool slightly before serving.

How fun! I actually have all of these ingredients in my kitchen... maybe I feel an afternoon snack coming on!
ReplyDelete*thumbs up!*
ReplyDeleteI loved these when I made them. Beats the standard rice crispy bar!
ReplyDeleteYUMYUMZ! Just made it! Waiting for it to cool now!
ReplyDeleteWhen you say "Large" bread pan, are you talking bout a 8x8, 9x9 or 9x13? I can't tell from your image - it looks like a 9x13, but I've actually never made rice krispy treats (bars). My mom always did.
ReplyDeleteWith this recipe, you need to use a smaller pan - 8x8 or 9x9. I think the recipe on the box is probably better, and I think that one calls for a 9x13.
