Supplies
- spatula
- large stock pot or Microwave Safe Bowl
- Measuring Cup
- 9 x 13 baking pan
Ingredients
- 6 Cups Cocoa Pebbles Cereal
- 16 oz of Jet Puff Marshmallows
- 4 Tbs Salted Butter
- (optional) non-stick canola oil spray
Instructions
If you are familiar with the original rice krispie treat recipe, then this should be extra easy for you. It's all the same steps, but just use cocoa pebbles instead of rice krispies.
Step One
We start out by melting butter in a large stock pot at medium heat on your stovetop. Once the butter has just about completely melted add a full bag of Jet Puff Marshmallows. You can use a spatula to stir the marshmallows and butter together until completely melted.
Once everything is melted, you'll want to cut your heat down off. If the marshmallows get too hot too quickly, they become brittle and stiff, and not very easy to mix.
Step Two
Now that you have your melted marshmallows, it's time to add in your cereal. Take 6 measured cups of Cocoa Pebbles and add them directly into the melted marshmallows. Again, using your spatula, stir until the cereal and marshmallows are mixed completely together.
Step Three
Take out a 9 x 13 baking pan and spray the inside walls and bottom with canola oil or any flavorless baking spray you choose. The baking spray keeps the sticky marshmallows from sticking to the bottom of the pan later, when you're ready to cut them.
Scoop all of your cereal into the bottom of the pan and flatten it out with your spatula. Do this until the cereal mix is completely flat and level in the bottom of the pan.
Set your pan to the side and let cool for about 30 minutes or so.
Step Four
It's time to cut your Cocoa Pebbles Cereal Bars.
Take out a sharp knife and carefully cut your treats into 2 x 2 inch squares. A 9 x 13 pan should produce about 15 or 16 cereal bars, depending on how accurate your measurements are.
And that's it!
