Fruity Pebbles Treats Recipe

Introduction

Fruity Pebbles Treats are a bright and chewy twist on classic rice cereal treats, bursting with fruity flavor and a sweet almond bark drizzle. They’re perfect for a fun dessert or a colorful party snack that everyone will love.

Ingredients

• 8 tbsp unsalted butter
• 20 oz mini marshmallows (plus 2 cups reserved, divided)
• 1½ tsp vanilla extract
• 1 tsp kosher salt
• 10 cups Fruity Pebbles cereal
• 8 oz white almond bark

Instructions

1. Step 1: Spray a 13×9 inch pan with non-stick cooking spray, then line it with parchment paper. Lightly spray the parchment paper to prevent sticking.
2. Step 2: Melt the butter in a 6-quart pot over medium heat, then reduce heat to low.
3. Step 3: Add 20 oz of mini marshmallows and stir occasionally until melted and smooth.
4. Step 4: Remove the pot from the heat and stir in the vanilla extract and kosher salt.
5. Step 5: Fold in the Fruity Pebbles cereal, then gently fold in the reserved 2 cups of mini marshmallows.
6. Step 6: Pour the mixture into the prepared pan and gently press it down evenly using the back of a wooden spoon. Spray the spoon with cooking spray to prevent sticking.
7. Step 7: For the topping, melt the white almond bark in a microwave-safe bowl in 30-second intervals, stirring between each until smooth.
8. Step 8: Transfer the melted almond bark to a Ziplock bag, snip a small corner off, and drizzle it evenly over the Fruity Pebbles treats.
9. Step 9: Allow the treats to cool at room temperature for 1 hour before cutting into bars.

Tips & Variations

• Use parchment paper extending over the edges of the pan for easy lifting and removal of the bars.
• Substitute classic Rice Krispies cereal if you prefer less fruity flavor but want a similar chewy texture.
• Add a sprinkle of rainbow sprinkles on top with the almond bark for extra color and fun.

Storage

Store the Fruity Pebbles 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 before serving, let them sit at room temperature for 15 minutes or warm briefly in the microwave.

FAQs

Can I use regular marshmallows instead of mini?

Yes, you can use regular marshmallows. Just chop them into smaller pieces so they melt evenly and incorporate well with the cereal.

How do I prevent the treats from sticking to the pan?

Using parchment paper and spraying it with cooking spray before adding the mixture helps prevent sticking and makes removal much easier.

Ingredients

Scale 1x2x3x

Base

• 8 tbsp unsalted butter
• 20 oz mini marshmallows (Jet-Puffed)
• 1½ tsp vanilla extract
• 1 tsp kosher salt
• 10 cups Fruity Pebbles cereal
• 2 cups mini marshmallows (reserved from the 20 oz)

Topping

• 8 oz white almond bark

Instructions

1. Prepare the pan: Spray a 13×9 inch pan with non-stick cooking spray, then line it with parchment paper. Lightly spray the parchment paper as well to prevent sticking.
2. Melt butter and marshmallows: In a 6-quart pot over medium heat, melt the butter. Once melted, reduce heat to low and add 20 oz of mini marshmallows, stirring occasionally until fully melted and smooth.
3. Add flavorings: Remove the pot from heat and stir in the vanilla extract and kosher salt to enhance the flavor.
4. Mix in cereal: Fold the Fruity Pebbles cereal gently into the marshmallow mixture. Then, add the reserved 2 cups of mini marshmallows and fold them in carefully to maintain texture and prevent crushing the cereal.
5. Press into pan: Transfer the cereal mixture into the prepared pan. Gently press it down evenly using the back of a wooden spoon lightly sprayed with non-stick spray to avoid sticking.
6. Melt almond bark: In a microwave-safe bowl, melt the white almond bark in 30-second increments, stirring between each, until smooth and fully melted.
7. Drizzle topping: Pour the melted almond bark into a Ziplock bag, cut a small corner off the bag, and drizzle it evenly over the top of the pressed Fruity Pebbles bars.
8. Cool and set: Allow the treat to cool at room temperature for 1 hour so the almond bark topping can harden and bars can set firmly.
9. Cut and serve: After cooling, cut the treats into squares and serve. Store any leftovers in an airtight container.

Notes

• Use non-stick cooking spray on the wooden spoon for smooth pressing without sticking.
• Microwave almond bark slowly in short increments to prevent burning.
• Ensure marshmallows are completely melted before folding in cereal for better binding.
• Allow bars to fully cool before cutting for clean squares.
• Can be stored in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days.
