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

In a large saucepan, melt the butter over low heat. Add the mini marshmallows and stir continuously until completely melted and smooth.
-
Remove the saucepan from heat and quickly add the crispy rice cereal. Stir well until the cereal is evenly coated with the marshmallow mixture.
-
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!
-
Transfer the mixture into the greased baking pan and press it down firmly with a spatula or greased hands to create an even layer.
-
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.
-
Once the bars are set, cut them into squares or rectangles of your desired size.
