Ingredients

Instructions

  1. Grease a 9x13-inch baking pan and set it aside.

  2. In a large saucepan, melt the butter over low heat. Add the mini marshmallows and stir continuously until completely melted and smooth.

  3. Remove the saucepan from heat and quickly add the crispy rice cereal. Stir well until the cereal is evenly coated with the marshmallow mixture.

  4. On a flat surface or in a large mixing bowl, combine the cereal mixture with the jelly beans. It's okay if the jelly beans get slightly crushed during mixing - it adds to the colorful effect!

  5. Transfer the mixture into the greased baking pan and press it down firmly with a spatula or greased hands to create an even layer.

  6. Let the Jelly Bean Mallow Bars cool and set at room temperature for about 30 minutes to 1 hour. You can also place them in the refrigerator for faster setting.

  7. Once the bars are set, cut them into squares or rectangles of your desired size.
