Ingredients

For the Rice Krispie treats:

  • ¼ cup unsalted butter ½ stick of butter
  • 1 ½ 10 oz. bags mini marshmallows
  • ¼ tsp salt
  • 1 teaspoons vanilla
  • 5 cups Rice Krispies
  • 1 cup Fruity Pebbles

For the Marshmallow frosting:

  • ½ cup butter room temperature
  • 7 oz Marshmallow Fluff
  • 1 cup powdered sugar
  • 1 tsp vanilla extract
  • 3 drops blue gel food coloring
  • 3-4 tbsp additional Fruity Pebbles
  • 9 Peeps Marshmallow Chicks

Instructions

  1. Spray the bottom of a 9" tart pan or pie pan with non-stick spray and place a circle cut out of parchment paper in the middle of the pan. Spray the parchment paper and side of the pan again and set aside.

  2. Add the butter to a large pot.

  3. Once the butter has melted, stir in 1 bag of marshmallows until it is melted and combined with the butter on medium-low heat.

  4. Take the pot off of the stove and mix in the vanilla and salt into the melted marshmallow mixture.

  5. Place the Rice Krispies, Fruity Pebbles, and 1/2 bag of marshmallows into the pot and combine thoroughly.
  6. Spoon the mixture into the tart pan and press down with a greased spatula to level. Wait 1 hour before adding toppings.
  7. While the rice krispie treats set, make the marshmallow buttercream frosting. Place the butter and powdered sugar in a large mixing bowl and beat together until fluffy, about 1-2 minutes.
  8. With a silicone spatula, fold in the marshmallow fluff and vanilla. Combine thoroughly. You can also add a few drops of food coloring in pastel colors into the frosting.

  9. Once the rice krispie treats are set, spoon the marshmallow frosting into a piping bag. Starting at the center of the pan, pipe frosting onto the rice krispie treats in a circular motion until the edges are reached.

  10. Place additional Fruity Pebbles and Marshmallow Peeps atop the frosting and serve immediately.
