Ingredients - Here's What You'll Need

1. Line the bottom and sides of a 9x13 baking pan with parchment, leaving about an inch overhanging the top; set aside until ready to use. Melt butter in a large pan over medium heat. (I used my 5.5 qt Le Creuset Dutch oven.) Add marshmallows and stir with a silicone spatula until completely melted.

3. Remove the pan from the heat and immediately stir in the Fruity Pebbles.

3. Transfer the mixture to the prepared pan.

4. Use the spatula to press the mixture into an even layer, making sure to compact it down. Allow to cool for 30 minutes.

5. Line a tall microwave-proof glass with a piping bag. Place Ghirardelli melting wafers into the piping bag and heat in the microwave according to package directions.

6. Lift the parchment out of the pan and peel it away from the sides of the Fruity Pebbles Treats, laying it as flat as possible. Snip the tip off the piping bag and drizzle the white candy melts over the top in a zig-zag pattern. Allow the candy to harden before cutting into squares. Store in an airtight container.

Frequently Asked Questions

Recipe Tips and Tricks

• Watch the Heat closely: Melt the marshmallows and butter over low heat, removing the pan from the stove the absolute second they become smooth. Overheating causes the sugar to recrystallize, resulting in a rock-hard treat instead of a soft, gooey bar.

• Use the Gentle Touch: When transferring the mixture to your pan, pat it into place with a light hand. Pressing the cereal down too firmly packs the bars tightly, which robs them of their signature chewy, airy texture.

• Stick to Room Temperature: Resist the temptation to speed up the process by putting the pan in the fridge. Refrigeration introduces unwanted moisture that makes the cereal soggy and hardens the marshmallow base.

• Layer for Longevity: When storing your treats in an airtight container at room temperature, place sheets of wax or parchment paper between the layers to prevent the squares from fusing back together.
