Key Ingredients

• Butter – I prefer to use salted butter for these. Be sure to use butter and not margarine.
• Mini Marshmallows – mini marshmallows melt much more easily than large marshmallows.
• Fruity Pebbles Cereal – you can also sub half fruity pebbles for half regular rice krispies if you don’t want them quite as sweet
• Vanilla Extract – you can also use a 1/2 tsp of coconut extract for a flavor variation

How to Make Fruity Pebbles Rice Krispie Treats

1. Butter the dish. Coat the inside of a 9 by 13″ baking dish with butter. Set aside.
2. Melt the ingredients. In a large dutch oven pot, melt the butter on medium heat.  Add the mini marshmallows and stir until the marshmallows are almost all melted.  Turn the heat off and add the vanilla and coconut extract. Stir.
3. Mix in the fruity pebbles. Add the fruity pebble cereal and mix until combined.
4. Spread into your pan. Pour the cereal mixture into the prepared 9 by 13″ baking dish.  Using the back of a spoon, spread the mixture evenly into the baking dish. 
5. Cool. Get your hands just a little wet or spray with non-stick cooking spray and pat down the rice krispies treats. Cool until they hold their shape.  Cut into 3″ squares and enjoy!

Recipe Tips and Tricks

While there are only four ingredients in these no-bake cookies, sometimes the ratios of marshmallow to cereal can be a little tricky. Here are a few tips to help your fruity pebbles cereal bars appear perfect every time.

1. Use Fresh Marshmallows- It’s best to use fresh marshmallows for the best taste and texture. Older marshmallows can get hard and lose their fluffiness.
2. Melt the Marshmallows Slowly- When melting the marshmallows, it’s important to do it slowly. Slowly melt the marshmallows, stirring constantly to avoid burning them.
3. Add the Cereal Gradually- When adding the Fruity Pebbles cereal to the melted marshmallows, it’s best to add it gradually. Add a bit at a time and mix well to ensure that the cereal is evenly coated with the marshmallow mixture. Adding too much cereal at once can make it difficult to mix and result in clumps of cereal in your treats.
4. Use Butter on the Pan- No one likes the taste of pam. It’s a little messier, but taking the time to grease your baking sheet with butter will definitely pay off. You want that first bite into the cookie to be joyous, not the synthetic greasy taste of cooking spray, smooth butter, and then sweet, fruity chewy!
5. Let them Cool Completely- One of the biggest mistakes people make when making Fruity Pebble Rice Crispy Treats is not letting them cool completely. Waiting for the treats to cool allows them to firm up and hold their shape. If you try to cut the treats while they’re still warm, they’ll fall apart and be difficult to serve.
6. To Cut Down on the Sweetness – You can substitute a couple of cups of fruity pebbles for regular rice crispies. This will cut down on the sweetness of these cookies. The recipe I made in these pictures has all 6 cups of fruity pebbles, but I’ve made them many times with half rice crispies, and they’re fantastic and a little less sweet.
