Fruity Pebbles Rice Krispie Treats Recipe

Introduction

Fruity Pebbles Rice Krispie Treats are a colorful twist on the classic marshmallow snack. They’re quick to make, delightfully chewy, and packed with fruity flavor that both kids and adults will love.

Ingredients

• 5 cups Fruity Pebble cereal
• 1/4 cup salted butter
• 4 cups mini marshmallows

Instructions

1. Step 1: Pour 5 cups of Fruity Pebble cereal into a large mixing bowl and set aside. Lightly grease an 8×8-inch pan with nonstick spray or butter to prepare for pressing the mixture later.
2. Step 2: In a medium saucepan over low heat, melt 1/4 cup salted butter. Once melted, add 4 cups mini marshmallows and stir constantly until fully melted and smooth, about 3–5 minutes.
3. Step 3: Immediately pour the melted marshmallow mixture over the cereal. Use a rubber spatula to stir until the cereal is evenly coated with the marshmallow mixture.
4. Step 4: Transfer the coated cereal mixture to the prepared pan. Using wax or parchment paper, gently press the mixture evenly into the pan, taking care not to press too hard so the treats remain light and chewy.
5. Step 5: Allow the treats to cool completely at room temperature for 20–30 minutes. For faster cooling, you can place the pan in the refrigerator for about 5 minutes.
6. Step 6: Once cooled, cut the treats into 9 squares and serve.

Tips & Variations

• Substitute regular marshmallows with flavored marshmallows to add a fun twist.
• Press treats gently to avoid making them too dense and tough.
• Try adding a handful of chocolate chips or mini candies for extra texture.
• Use a buttered spatula or your hands lightly greased with butter to make pressing easier without sticking.

Storage

Store the treats in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days. For longer storage, keep them in the refrigerator for up to a week. To soften slightly before serving, let the treats sit at room temperature for 10 minutes or microwave briefly for about 5 seconds.

How to Serve
