    These easy to make fruity pebbles treats are better than the original and seriously addictive!

    These brightly colored cereal treats are a fun no-bake dessert that everyone loves!

    We are all familiar with Rice Krispies treats, in fact, my “best ever” recipe for the childhood favorite is one of my most popular. The chewy and crispy texture and super sweet flavor are so delightful, and when prepared well, these simple goodies are as good as gourmet!

    As much as I love the classic treat, it is fun to switch things up now and then. That is why my Fruity Pebbles treats are next up. They feature the same appeal as Rice Krispies treats but with a colorful, fruity twist.

    The colorful snack or dessert bars are perfect for parties and celebrations! Plus, the fruity flavor is always a hit with family and friends.

    🥘 Ingredients

    The ingredients for this recipe are simple to collect and prep. If you have made Rice Krispies treats before, you know the drill, but follow my instructions below in case your go-to recipe is slightly different than mine.

    • Butter – I use salted butter, as it adds a bit more flavor to the treats. If using unsalted butter, I suggest adding a pinch of salt to really make the flavors stand out!
    • Mini Marshmallows – The ooey-gooey enjoyment is marshmallow-made. Be sure to use fresh marshmallows.
    • Vanilla Extract – My little secret for that extra something that makes these treats stand out.
    • Fruity Pebbles Cereal – The star of the show. They’re not just for breakfast! Be sure your cereal is fresh for perfectly 'krispie' treats!

    If you love cereal treats, be sure to try my tasty Lucky Charms marshmallow treats too!

    💭 Angela's Tips & Recipe Notes

    • The best part (aside from eating them), is that this is a no-bake recipe. They do need to cool for a while though before slicing into treat-sized bars, so be patient and plan ahead, timewise. If you slice them while still warm, they’ll collapse and make an icky mess.
    • Do not pack the marshmallow-coated cereal into your prepared pan densely, as this will create hard Fruity Pebbles Treats. You want that airy crisp texture that melts in your mouth.

    🔪 Step-By-Step Instructions

    These treats are fun to make, and the process is quick and easy. The time-consuming part is the cool-down period, which is about an hour.

    If you have kids, they will love making Fruity Pebbles Treats with you. They are great for bake sales, after-school snacks with friends, and lunchbox surprises.

    1. Butter or lightly grease a 9 x 13-inch baking pan or line the pan from end to end with parchment paper.
    2. On the stovetop: Melt ½ cup salted butter in a large saucepan over low heat. Once the butter is melted, add in the marshmallows (reserve 1 cup of marshmallows for later if desired, total 15 ounces altogether for recipe) and stir to coat completely. Continue stirring until all of the marshmallows are melted, then remove from the heat source.
    3. 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.
    4. 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.
    5. 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.
    6. Set the treats out and let them cool for at least an hour before slicing and serving.

    This recipe makes about 16 servings, but it all depends upon how you cut the portions. Serve with a glass of cold milk and enjoy your fruity pebbles treats!

    🥡 Storing & Reheating

    You can store these Fruity Pebbles treats in an airtight container at room temperature for three days. To keep your treats nice and moist, you can individually wrap each treat in plastic cling film.

    Technically, when using salted butter, your cereal treats can be stored at room temp for up to a week. However, they're still best in the first few days.

    Will they disappear before then? Probably!
