Instructions
1. Lightly spray a 9×13-inch baking dish with cooking spray and set it aside.
2. Melt 3 tbsp of unsalted butter in a large pot over low heat, stirring constantly with a wooden spoon until fully liquid, about 2-3 minutes.
3. Add 10 oz of marshmallows to the melted butter, stirring continuously until completely smooth and no lumps remain, approximately 5 minutes.
4. Remove the pot from heat and immediately fold in 6 cups of Fruity Pebbles cereal until every piece is evenly coated with the marshmallow mixture.
5. Press half of the cereal mixture into the prepared baking dish in an even layer, using a spatula or your hands lightly sprayed with cooking spray to prevent sticking.
6. Spread 1/2 cup of Nutella evenly over the cereal layer in the dish, leaving a small border around the edges.
7. Top the Nutella layer with the remaining cereal mixture, pressing down firmly to seal the filling inside.
8. Let the treats cool at room temperature for at least 1 hour until set and firm to the touch.
9. Cut into 12 squares with a sharp knife, wiping the blade clean between cuts for neat edges.
Know that these treats offer a playful crunch from the cereal, a creamy surprise from the Nutella, and vibrant colors that kids adore. Serve them chilled for a firmer texture or slightly warmed to make the filling extra oozy—either way, they’re a fun twist on a nostalgic favorite.
