Fruity Pebbles Treats are tender, soft, uncooked bars made with mini marshmallows and a generous amount of crunchy, colorful rice cereal. With just a few simple ingredients and a quick and easy recipe, you’ll be enjoying this bright twist on classic Krispie rice bars in no time!
Ingredients & Substitutions
Cereal: The multicolored Fruity Pebbles cereal makes this a fun and easy treat or snack to satisfy your sweet tooth! Of course, you could substitute regular rice cereal, or use a combination of the two to still get a little bit of color.
Marshmallows: This recipe calls for 10 cups of mini marshmallows. One 10-ounce bag of miniature marshmallows yields 6 cups, so you will need two bags. Or, make your own homemade marshmallows to use! If you only have regular-sized marshmallows, you will need about 77 marshmallows to equal 10 cups of mini.
Butter: Unsalted butter is the best choice when making these bars. Salted butter could affect the sweetness of the bars, making them too salty.
Can I Use a Different Sized Pan?
Certainly! If you prefer thicker Rice Krispie bars, you can use an 8×8-inch pan (as I did in this recipe). However, if you prefer thinner bars or want to make more of them at once, you can use a 9×9-inch or 9×13-inch baking dish. It’s important to note that the larger the pan you use, the thinner the bars will be, as the mixture will be spread out over a greater surface area.
How to Store Fruity Pebbles Treats
There are a few ways to store these treats. Here are a few options:
- Room Temperature: The bars will last 3-4 days when stored in an airtight container at room temperature.
- To Refrigerate: Store the cooled bars in an airtight container for up to a week in the refrigerator.
- To Freeze: After letting the bars cool completely, wrap them in plastic wrap with another layer of aluminum foil. Store them in a freezer-safe container for 3-4 months (although best enjoyed within a month of freezing).
