Equipment
- 1 9×9 baking dish
- 1 1 large pot
- 1 spatula
Ingredients
- 3 tbsp butter
- 6 cups mini marshmallows (10 ounces)
- 4 cups Fruity Pebbles cereal (4 ounces)
- 2 scoops unflavored whey protein
- 1 tsp vanilla extract (optional)
Instructions
- Melt the butter in a large pot over low heat.
- Once melted, add marshmallows and stir periodically. Remove from heat when the marshmallows are smooth and all lumps are gone.
- Add the protein powder in and mix with a spatula. Make sure to work quickly, as the marshmallows will begin to harden.
- Lastly, add the Fruity Pebbles cereal and mix until everything is combined.
- Transfer the mixture into a 9×9 pan sprayed with cooking oil. Use the spatula and scrape any remaining mixture from the bowl.
- Use the back of a spoon, or your hands to press the mixture into the pan. Let it sit for 30 minutes, before cutting up the bars.

- The Fruity Pebbles and marshmallows can be very sticky when handling. Try lightly wetting your hands if you’re having trouble transferring the mixture into a pan.
- Then, spray a piece of parchment paper and place it over the mixture. Press your hands over the mixture, spreading it out evenly in the pan. This will make things easier, because parchment paper will act as a barrier between the mixture and your hands.
