About the ingredients.

Fruity pebbles of course!
Rice Krispies- I like to divide the fruity pebbles with Rice Krispies. Fruity pebbles can be quite sugary especially with the marshmallows. Adding some Rice Krispies balances the sugar.
MINI-marshmallows- these melt more evenly and quickly than the large marshmallows.
Brown butter- Using your regular butter you will melt this in your pan first. I'll show you how below.

Thick and Chewy Fruity Pebble Treats

These fruity pebble treats are my favorite because of how thick, marshmallowy chewy they are. The brown butter adds the most delicious grourmet flavor. This are a similar recipe to our viral Brown Butter Rice Krispie Treats.

How do I get them to not stick to the pan?

You can rub butter on your 9x13 pan, spray with a non-stick pan or line with a parchment paper for easy removal.

Fruity Pebbles are little too hard?

This means that the sugars (in the marshmallows) were cookies too long. Make sure as soon as the marshmallows are put into the pan you turn off the heat or down as low as it goes. Only stir them for about 30 seconds to get them melting and add fruity pebbles.

Do I have to make brown butter?
