Copycat Buc-ee's Fruity Pebbles Rice Crispy Treat
Description
Thick, gooey copycat Buc-ee's Fruity Pebbles rice crispy treats made on the stovetop in about 15 minutes. Extra marshmallow, low heat, and a small pan give you the same oversized, soft-in-the-middle square you'd grab from the bakery case. No oven, and easy to dress up for Halloween.

- 6 Tbsp salted butter
- 16 oz mini marshmallows, plus 1 cup reserved
- 1 tsp vanilla extract
