Rice Krispie Treats walked, so Fruity Pebble Treats could run.
The fruity flavor? You can't beat the fruity flavor paired with marshmallows, butter, and just a splash of vanilla.
This recipe is so simple. I use the 1-1-1-1 method. No leftover ingredients taking up cabinet or fridge space, you can just make this recipe and then throw away the empty wrappers and containers.
Who doesn't love a no-bake dessert for summer? Nobody wants their oven on when the summer heat is climbing up to triple digits, but sometimes you need a solid dessert, am I right? This is that dessert.
Ingredients needed.
Here are the 4 ingredients you'll need to make these fruity pebble rice crispy treats.
Fruity Pebbles. I mean, duh! I use one whole 11 oz. box and that comes out to about 7.5 cups.
Marshmallows. I opt for the large marshmallows, for no particular reason other than they are what I saw first in the store.
Butter. I use a whole stick of butter. That is the number 1 reason why these are the best fruity pebble cereal treats ever.
Vanilla. I like to enhance the flavor just a bit by adding a splash of vanilla in there!
Are Fruity Pebbles and Rice Krispies the same?
No! Fruity Pebbles are the fruity, sweeter version of Rice Krispies.
How many cups of cereal are in a box of Fruity Pebbles?
When I measured my 11 oz. box, I got 7.5 cups of cereal out of it.
How to make rice crispy treats with Fruity Pebbles
- Spray a 9x13 pan with nonstick spray or butter it. Set aside.
- Over medium heat, melt your stick of butter
- Reduce the heat to low, pour your marshmallows and vanilla and stir until melted. Do not stop stirring.
- Once marshmallows are melted, remove them from the heat. Pour in the Fruity Pebbles and fold the melted marshmallow mix with the cereal.
- Once everything is evenly mixed, pour it into your greased 9x13 pan. You can use your spoon or parchment paper to press the treats evenly into the dish.
- Allow for the treats to cool in the fridge for minimum 30 minutes.
Can you make Fruity Pebble treats with marshmallow fluff?
Yes! You will need to use 10 oz or 3 cups of marshmallow fluff in place of the regular marshmallows. You will melt the marshmallow fluff with butter, just like you do with regular marshmallows. The only difference will be the time it takes for the marshmallow and butter to come together.
How to store these?
The best way to store these fruity pebble treats is in an airtight container. If your 9x13 has a lid, you can use that, plastic wrap or slice them up and place them in Tupperware.
