Fruity Pebbles Rice Krispies Treats Recipe

Introduction

Fruity Pebbles Rice Krispies Treats are a colorful and nostalgic twist on the classic marshmallow cereal bar. Combining the crunchy texture of Rice Krispies with the vibrant fruity flavor of Fruity Pebbles, these treats are perfect for a fun snack or party dessert.

Ingredients

• 5 tablespoons unsalted butter
• 16 ounces miniature marshmallows
• 1/4 teaspoon salt
• 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
• 4 cups Fruity Pebbles cereal
• 2 cups Rice Krispies cereal

Instructions

1. Step 1: Spray a 9 x 9-inch pan with cooking spray, then line it with parchment paper, leaving an overhang for easy removal. Set aside. Separate 2½ cups (120 grams) of marshmallows from the bag.
2. Step 2: In a large nonstick pot, melt the butter over low heat. Once melted, add all but the reserved 2½ cups of marshmallows. Stir constantly over low heat until the marshmallows are completely melted and smooth.
3. Step 3: Remove the pot from heat and stir in the salt and vanilla extract.
4. Step 4: Gently fold in the Rice Krispies and Fruity Pebbles cereals until well combined.
5. Step 5: Add the reserved 2½ cups of marshmallows and stir carefully until everything is evenly mixed. Avoid mashing the cereal while stirring.
6. Step 6: Pour the mixture into the prepared pan. Lightly spray your hands with cooking spray and gently press the mixture into an even layer. Be careful not to press too hard, as this can make the bars dense.
7. Step 7: Allow the bars to cool and set for at least one hour.
8. Step 8: Use the parchment-paper overhang to lift the bars out of the pan. Cut into squares with a sharp knife and serve.

Tips & Variations

• For extra flavor, try adding a handful of mini chocolate chips or a sprinkle of rainbow sprinkles before pressing the mixture into the pan.
• If you prefer a gluten-free version, ensure both cereals are certified gluten-free.
• Use light butter or margarine for a slightly different taste and texture.

Storage

Store the Fruity Pebbles Rice Krispies Treats in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days. For longer storage, keep them in the refrigerator for up to a week. To soften chilled bars, warm them briefly in the microwave for 10–15 seconds before serving.

How to Serve

Serve this delicious recipe with your favorite sides.

FAQs

Can I use regular-sized marshmallows instead of miniature?

Yes, you can use regular-sized marshmallows. Just use about half the volume needed and chop them roughly for faster melting and better mixing.

Can I substitute the Fruity Pebbles cereal with another type?

Absolutely! You can swap Fruity Pebbles for any colorful, crispy cereal you like, such as Cocoa Pebbles or Fruity Cheerios, to customize the flavor and appearance.

Ingredients

Scale 1x2x3x

Base Mixture

Cereals

• 2 cups Rice Krispies cereal

---

Instructions

1. Prepare the Pan: Spray a 9 x 9-inch pan with cooking spray and line it with parchment paper, leaving an overhang for easy removal of the bars later.
2. Separate Marshmallows: Set aside 2-1/2 cups (120 grams) of the miniature marshmallows from the total 16 ounces for later use.
3. Melt Butter and Marshmallows: In a large nonstick pot, melt the butter over low heat. Once melted, add all but the reserved 2-1/2 cups of marshmallows and stir constantly over low heat until the marshmallows are fully melted and smooth.
4. Add Flavorings and Mix Cereals: Remove the pot from the heat and stir in the salt and vanilla extract. Gently fold in the Rice Krispies and Fruity Pebbles cereals, mixing until evenly coated.
5. Add Reserved Marshmallows: Add the reserved 2-1/2 cups of marshmallows back into the mixture and stir until everything is well combined—take care not to mash the cereals to keep the texture light.
6. Press into Pan: Pour the sticky mixture into the prepared pan. Lightly spray your hands with cooking spray to prevent sticking and gently press the mixture into an even layer, being careful not to compress too hard to avoid dense treats.
7. Cool and Set: Allow the treats to cool and set at room temperature for at least one hour. Once set, use the parchment paper overhang to lift the treats from the pan and cut into squares with a sharp knife.

Notes

• Use miniature marshmallows for best melting and binding results.
• If desired, substitute the Rice Krispies cereal with another crispy rice cereal.
• Press gently when shaping the treats to keep them light and airy rather than dense.
