WHAT INGREDIENTS DO YOU NEED TO MAKE FRUITY PEBBLES TREATS?

Fruity Pebbles Treats Recipe (2)
  • Fruity Pebbles cereal- Post Fruity pebbles cereal is naturally gluten-free
  • Marshmallows- most marshmallows are gluten and dairy-free but not naturally vegan.
  • Butter- unsalted butter is what I prefer
  • Vanilla extract
  • large pot- you need a lot of room to stir the treats.
  • silicone spatula- I spray my spatula with nonstick spray to help with easy cleanup.
  • measuring cups- Pyrex cups are what I have on hand but other dry measuring cups will work.
  • 9 x 13 pan- either glass or metal. Be sure to spray with non-stick spray.
  • non-stick pan spray
  • Chef knife or pizza wheel- once again, spray with non-stick pan spray.
