Homemade Rice Crispy Treats

I made homemade Rice Crispy Treats tonight but added about 1/2 cup of Fruity Pebbles to them for a splash of color and flavor.  They were a hit, and I thought I would share the tip :)  If you don't have a rice crispy treat recipe, here it is!


6 Cups Rice Crispy Treats (I also added 1/2 cup Fruity Pebbles)
3 Tablespoons of Salted Butter (if using unsalted add 1/8 tsp. salt)
1/2 teaspoon of pure vanilla extract
1 pkg (10.5 oz) miniature marshmallows
1 9x13 sheet of clear plastic wrap
No stick spray


Oil (No stick spray) a large mixing bowl, a medium sized sauce pan, a 9x13 inch baking dish, and a spoon.

Add both cereals to your large mixing bowl and stir.

Melt your butter (and salt if needed) over medium -low heat in the sauce pan

Add Vanilla and stir

Add marshmallows and stir until melted.

Immediately add to your cereal and mix well.

Transfer into your 9x13 inch baking dish

Spray your sheet of clear plastic wrap with no stick spray and use it to press the rice crispy treats down evenly.

Let sit until firm.  Enjoy :)
