This is how you can make this delicious fruit pebbles krispy treats recipe. Make sure to scroll down to the recipe card for the full detailed instructions!
- Line an 8×8 inch pan with parchment paper, and coat with non-stick cooking spray, and set aside.
- In a large saucepan, melt the butter over medium-low heat. Once melted add in the mini marshmallows and stir until melted fully.
- Remove the pot from the heat and stir in the vanilla extract and salt.
- Add the Fruity Pebbles crispy rice cereal to the marshmallow mixture and stir until well-coated.
- Gently fold in the rest of the marshmallows while the mixture is still warm, so they melt slightly and create a marbled effect.
- Press the mixture into the prepared pan using a spatula or wax paper. Press firmly to compact the mixture. Top with more chocolate chips and a sprinkle of sea salt then allow the treats to cool and set at room temperature for about 30 minutes before slicing into squares.
