Introduction

Fruity Pebbles Rice Krispie Treats are a colorful twist on the classic marshmallow cereal bar. These sweet, chewy treats combine bright, fruity cereal with gooey marshmallows for a delightful snack that’s loved by kids and adults alike.

The image shows brightly colored cereal bars cut into squares, closely placed on a white marbled surface. Each bar has two layers: the base layer is made of tightly packed, multicolored fruity cereal pieces, creating a crunchy texture; the top layer consists of glossy, melted white marshmallow that acts as a sticky binder, with some marshmallow strings stretching and connecting the bars. The colors of the cereal include red, yellow, green, blue, and purple, making the bars very vibrant and eye-catching. photo taken with an iphone --ar 4:5 --v 7

Ingredients

5 cups Fruity Pebble cereal
1/4 cup salted butter
4 cups mini marshmallows

Instructions

Step 1: Pour 5 cups of Fruity Pebble cereal into a large mixing bowl. Lightly grease an 8×8-inch pan with nonstick spray or butter and set aside.
Step 2: In a medium saucepan over low heat, melt 1/4 cup salted butter. Once melted, add 4 cups mini marshmallows and stir constantly until the marshmallows are fully melted and the mixture is smooth, about 3–5 minutes.
Step 3: Immediately pour the melted marshmallow mixture over the cereal. Stir gently with a rubber spatula until the cereal is evenly coated.
Step 4: Transfer the mixture to the prepared pan. Using a piece of wax or parchment paper, press the mixture evenly into the pan without pressing too hard to keep the treats light and chewy.
Step 5: Allow the treats to cool completely at room temperature for 20–30 minutes. For a quicker set, place the pan in the refrigerator for about 5 minutes.
Step 6: Once cooled, cut into 9 squares and serve.

Tips & Variations

Use wax or parchment paper when pressing the mixture to prevent sticking and ensure even thickness.
For extra flavor, add a teaspoon of vanilla extract to the melted marshmallow mixture before combining with the cereal.
Try swapping Fruity Pebbles with other colorful cereals like Trix or Cocoa Pebbles for different tastes and looks.
Press gently when shaping to keep the treats soft and chewy, rather than dense.

Storage

Store your Fruity Pebbles Rice Krispie Treats in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days. For longer storage, you can refrigerate them for up to a week, but note they might lose some chewiness. To enjoy, let chilled treats return to room temperature or microwave briefly for a few seconds.

How to Serve

A stack of four colorful fruity cereal treats is shown on a white marbled surface, each square-shaped layer packed tightly with bright red, yellow, green, blue, and orange cereal pieces mixed with small white marshmallows. The texture appears sticky and glossy as the treats cling together, with some cereal and marshmallows scattered around the base. The focus is on the vibrant colors and rough, chunky texture of the cereal treats against a plain white background. Photo taken with an iphone --ar 4:5 --v 7

FAQs

Can I use regular-sized marshmallows instead of mini marshmallows?

Yes, you can use regular-sized marshmallows. Use about the same volume—4 cups of mini marshmallows is approximately one 10-ounce bag of regular marshmallows.

How do I prevent the treats from sticking to the pan?

Grease the pan lightly with butter or use a nonstick spray. Also, pressing the mixture with wax or parchment paper helps prevent sticking and makes it easier to remove the treats once set.
