How to Make Fruity Pebbles Rice Krispies Treats
If you thought the ingredient list for this recipe was easy, just wait until you actually make it. It is absolutely one of the easiest things you will ever make in your life.
Step 1: Prep and Melt the Marshmallows
Add the marshmallows and butter to a medium-large microwave-safe mixing bowl and microwave on high at 30-second intervals, mixing in between each interval until the mixture is completely melted. Pour the hot, melted marshmallow mixture over the cereal and stir until combined.
Step 2: Add to Baking Dish and Set
Spoon the cereal mixture into the baking dish and press down until smooth and even. Top the mixture with more mini marshmallows, pressing them into the top of the treats. Let the treats set for at least three hours or for one hour in the refrigerator. Then, cut into 8 to 12 pieces.
Hint: Run extremely hot water over your knife before cutting out the squares to help make it easier to cut through the gooey mixture.

Tips
This is one of the easiest recipes you'll ever make. However, even simple recipes can be made better if you're in the know. I have a couple of tips to help you make the best treats possible.
- Remember to work fast. The key to thoroughly mixing your treats is to mix everything while it's nice and hot - and THIN. If your mix begins to set up, it's going to be difficult to mix.
- Stir often when you're melting your marshmallows. If left in one place on direct heat for too long, they'll scorch.
