Ingredients

¼ cup (½ stick) salted butter
12 ounce bag of marshmallows
½ teaspoon salt
4½ cups rice krispies cereal
2½ cups fruity pebbles with marshmallows cereal

Instructions

Line a 9x9 inch baking pan with parchment paper and spray it lightly with cooking spray.
Melt the salted butter in a large saucepan for about 2 minutes over medium-low heat.
Once the butter has melted, stir in the marshmallows and salt.
Continue heating over medium-low or low heat, stirring continuously, until the marshmallows are completely melted and smooth, about 2-3 minutes.
Remove the pan from the heat and gently fold in the rice krispies and fruity pebbles with marshmallows until all the cereal is evenly mixed into the marshmallow mixture.
Scoop the resulting mixture into the prepared baking pan and smooth it into an even layer with a spreader or your clean hands.
Cool completely before cutting into squares and serving.

Notes

Storage:

To Store: Rainbow Rice Krispie Treats can be stored at room temperature for up to 3-4 days or in the refrigerator for up to a week.
To Freeze: To freeze, wrap the Rainbow Rice Krispie Treats tightly in plastic wrap and place them in an airtight container or freezer bag. They will keep in the freezer for up to 3 months.

Tips:

Make sure to use the correct amount of butter as specified in the recipe so that the texture and flavor turn out correctly. Otherwise the treats will be dry and crumbly.
Don't overheat your marshmallows or you will end up with hard, difficult-to-bite treats.
Using stale cereal can result in treats with an unpleasant texture. I always recommend using fresh, new cereal for this recipe. Afterward, you can enjoy a nice bowl of cereal as well!
