gooey Fruity Pebbles – YES, PLEASE!

What could be better than ooey gooey marshmallow, buttery goodness? How about you throw in some fruity pebbles?

Yes – we took Rice Krispie Treats and took them to a whole new fruity level.

These eye-poppingly colorful bars bring up images of Willy Wonka and his magical world of sweets, and the girls go nuts over them.

How to Make Fruity Pebble Treats

They’re beyond easy!

MELT. In a large bowl, melt butter in the microwave for 30 seconds.

COMBINE. Add large marshmallows to butter bowl and microwave for 2 – 3 minutes. Keep a close eye on them so they don’t expand too much and fall out the bowl. Stir well and slowly add Fruity Pebble cereal.

PRESS. When all combined pour into a greased 9×13 pan. Let set and enjoy!

Recipe Notes

Here are a few notes and tips to help out: 

  • Use any Krispie cereal: plain rice krispies, fruity pebbles or cocoa pebbles all work.
  • Don’t skimp on marshmallows the more the merrier …err tastier 😉
  • Dairy free: Use coconut oil instead of butter
  • Gluten free: check the label on the cereal
  • An 8 or 9-inch baking pan will yield 16 thick squares. A 9 x 13-inch baking pan will yield about 24 squares.
  • To keep treats from sticking to your fingers: lightly grease your fingers or tear a piece of parchment paper to use when pressing treats into the pan. 
  • Frosting: You can easily add frosting or a candy coat to these treats. Top the treats with sprinkles before the frosting/coating has dried. 

Making even cuts: I like to line my pan with parchment paper. Once the treats have set simply lift the entire block out. Use a large kitchen knife to make large even cuts.

How to Store?

How to keep the Krispies from getting hard: No one likes finding that a krispie treat is too hard to bite through. Here are a few tips on keeping your treats soft and chewy:

  • Don’t over press into the pan otherwise they’ll become solid and hard.
  • Use LOW heat when melting the marshmallows on the stove. Too high and the sugar in the marshmallows will turn to hard candy yielding a very hard Krispie treat.
  • Use fresh Marshmallows. Older ones tend to make a harder treat.

Storage: Store in an airtight container for up to 3 days. Sticking a slice of white bread in the container will help keep the treats soft.

To Freeze: Store the entire block or as individual treats. Wrap in plastic wrap then wrap again with foil or place in a Ziploc. Freeze for up to 3 months. Thaw before eating.
