Continue stirring until all of the marshmallows are melted, then remove from the heat source.In the microwave: In a large mixing bowl, melt the marshmallows with ½ cup salted butter starting with 1 minute on high heat. Continue heating in 30-second increments, stirring between heating, until the marshmallows are fully melted. Keep an eye on the marshmallow-butter mixture throughout this process, as all microwaves differ.Stir in 1 teaspoon vanilla extract, then add 9 cups of Fruity Pebbles cereal and the remaining 1 cup portion of marshmallows you’ve set aside. Carefully fold in the cereal and stir until all of the cereal is coated with the melted marshmallows.Transfer the coated Fruity Pebbles cereal to your prepared pan, then use a buttered spatula, waxed paper, or fingers dipped in water or butter and gently press the Fruity Pebbles mixture down into an even layer.
