Ingredients
- 3 cups mini marshmallows
• 2 tbsp butter
• 2 cups crispy rice cereal
• ½ cup Fruity Pebbles cereal (for inside)
• 1 large fruit roll-up
• 4 oz cream cheese, softened
• 2 tbsp powdered sugar
• 1 tsp vanilla extract
• ½ cup Fruity Pebbles cereal (for coating)
Instructions
1️⃣ Make the Marshmallow Rice Base:
In a saucepan, melt butter and marshmallows over medium-low heat until smooth.
Remove from heat and stir in crispy rice cereal. Let cool slightly.
2️⃣ Shape the Base:
Press the mixture onto parchment paper into a rectangle (about ¼ inch thick).
Place a fruit roll-up over the top, pressing gently to stick.
3️⃣ Add the Filling:
Mix cream cheese, powdered sugar, and vanilla until smooth.
Spread evenly over the fruit roll-up. Sprinkle with ½ cup Fruity Pebbles.
4️⃣ Roll It Up:
Carefully roll from one end into a tight log, using the parchment to help.
Chill for 15–20 minutes to firm up.
5️⃣ Coat & Slice:
Unwrap and gently press remaining Fruity Pebbles around the outside.
Slice into 1-inch sushi-style pieces and serve!
