Fruity Pebbles Krispies Treats—Colorful, Chewy, and Bursting with Cereal Crunch

Fruity Pebbles Krispies Treats are a playful and vibrant take on the traditional rice krispie treat. Packed with rainbow color, a fruity punch, and that signature marshmallow stretch, these bars are fun to make, fun to eat, and always a hit at parties, bake sales, or after-school snack time. They combine the nostalgic taste of gooey marshmallows with the unmistakable citrusy sweetness of Fruity Pebbles cereal. Each bite is soft, sticky, and just the right amount of crunchy, making these treats impossible to resist for kids and grown-ups alike.

Why You’ll Love These Rainbow Treats

Fruity Pebbles add bold flavor and color that turns a familiar dessert into something bright and exciting. The marshmallow-to-cereal ratio is just right for ultimate chewiness without being overly sticky. You only need one pot and one pan to bring them together, and they set quickly for fast snacking. They’re also perfect for customizing—cut them into fun shapes, dip them in white chocolate, or sprinkle with edible glitter for a party-ready twist.

Ingredients

• 6 cups Fruity Pebbles cereal
• 4 tbsp unsalted butter
• 1 (10 oz) bag mini marshmallows (plus 1 extra cup if you like chunkier texture)
• ½ tsp vanilla extract (optional)
• Pinch of salt

Instructions

1. Lightly grease a 9×13-inch baking dish or line it with parchment paper for easy removal.
2. In a large pot, melt butter over low heat until fully melted.
3. Add mini marshmallows (reserving 1 cup if using) and stir continuously until melted and smooth.
4. Stir in vanilla extract and a pinch of salt if using.
5. Remove from heat and quickly stir in the Fruity Pebbles cereal until fully coated.
6. If using the reserved marshmallows, stir them in now for a chewy, chunky texture.
7. Pour the mixture into the prepared pan and gently press down using a greased spatula or clean hands.
8. Let sit at room temperature for at least 30 minutes to cool and firm up.
9. Slice into squares and serve or store in an airtight container.

Tips for Extra Chewy Treats

Use fresh marshmallows—they melt more smoothly and make the texture better. Don’t press the mixture too hard into the pan or your bars will turn out dense. Add a drizzle of melted white chocolate for an extra sweet layer or top with rainbow sprinkles for a party vibe.

Variations

Swap half of the Fruity Pebbles with regular Rice Krispies for a subtler flavor. Add crushed freeze-dried strawberries for fruity depth. Turn them into sandwich bars by layering with marshmallow fluff or frosting between two thin layers. Use cookie cutters for fun shapes.

Storage

Store in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days for the best texture. If you refrigerate, allow to come to room temperature before serving. You can also freeze individual squares wrapped tightly for up to 1 month.

Final Thoughts

Fruity Pebbles Krispies Treats are as fun to eat as they are to look at—bright, flavorful, and delightfully chewy with a nostalgic twist. They’re a perfect treat for birthdays, bake sales, or anytime you need a bit of rainbow in your day.
