Imagine taking that marshmallow-butter combo we all know and love and giving it a colorful twist that’ll transport you right back to those carefree mornings with a bowl of Fruity Pebbles.
These treats are like a burst of childhood nostalgia in every bite – they’re crunchy, gooey, and packed with that sweet fruity flavor we can’t resist. So, buckle up, because I’m about to share the scoop on how to whip up these Fruity Pebbles treats that’ll have you grinning like a kid in a candy store!
What do you need?
- 6 cups of Fruity pebbles cereal
- 1 14 oz bag of Marshmallows
- ¼ cup of Butter, salted is ok
- 1/3 cup of White chocolate chips
How to Make them…
In a large pot, begin by melting the butter. Add the marshmallows and slowly begin to melt them over med/low heat. You don’t want to do this fast or you’ll scorch the marshmallows.
While the marshmallows are melting, grease a 9×13 pan.
When all the marshmallows are melted, work quickly by pouring the cereal into the pot and mixing it well into the marshmallow/butter mixture.
Quickly transfer the cereal mixture to the pan. With slightly wet hands, press the cereal into the pan and make it even and smooth on top.
Let the mixture completely cool. fter it’s cooled, melt the white chocolate chips either over on the stovetop or microwave.
With a spoon, drizzle the chocolate over the squares. Let completely cool and then slice into squares. Enjoy!
FAQ (Frequently Asked Questions):
Can I use a different type of cereal for this recipe?
Absolutely! While Fruity Pebbles bring a unique burst of color and flavor, you can experiment with your favorite cereal too. Think Cocoa Pebbles for a chocolatey twist or classic Rice Krispies for a more traditional treat.
Are these bars suitable for special diets?
You can definitely adapt this recipe to your dietary preferences. If you’re looking for a gluten-free option, ensure your chosen cereal is gluten-free. You can also use vegan marshmallows and plant-based butter for a dairy-free and vegan version.
How do I store these cereal bars?
Once the bars have set, store them in an airtight container at room temperature. If you live in a warmer climate, you might want to keep them in the fridge to prevent them from becoming too soft.

Chocolate Chips: Stir in a handful of mini chocolate chips for pockets of gooey chocolate goodness.
Dried Fruit Medley: Toss in some chopped dried fruits like apricots, cranberries, or raisins for a chewy and tangy twist.
