Frosted Fruity Pebbles Treats

A quick & easy treat these Frosted Fruity Pebbles Treats are fun for both kids & adults alike. Sweet rainbow colored marshmallow cereal bars are topped with a layer of vanilla frosting and finished off with some festive sprinkles. They’re simple and adorable making them perfect for both parties and holidays.

I’m generally a sucker for all things rainbow colored.

Something about all the bright, cheery colors just calls to me.

Whether it’s almost St. Paddy’s Day, which is the case here, or a rainbow-themed party or event when all those colors are involved- there’s always a bit of whimsy.

And I’m all about finding those magic moments in the everyday.

Tell me, what day can’t be made, or improved upon, with a sweet little treat.

Bonus points for it being one I can make in a pinch.

Obviously we’re fans of the traditional rice krispie treat bars, but my kids especially like it when we do something that puts a fresh new spin on them.

Rice krispie treats are easy to adapt to fit pretty much any holiday, like we recently did with our Hershey’s Kiss Rice Krispie Treats for Valentine’s Day and these Gingerbread Rice Krispies Treats for Thanksgiving & Christmas.

We enjoyed it so much, that we decided to put our heads together and see what we could come up with for St. Patrick’s Day this year using the same idea.

Using rainbow colored fruity pebbles cereal, we decided that these Frosted Fruity Pebbles Treats were a perfect dessert for St. Paddy’s Day.

Ingredients Needed

These sweet cereal bars only need a few ingredients.

You’ll need:

• Butter – Half a stick, or 4 tablespoons, melted. You can use unsalted butter, but a bit of salt always enhances sweet treats so I recommend using salted butter in this recipe.
• Marshmallows – This recipe uses mini marshmallows- 4 cups worth to be exact.
• Cereal – Fruity pebbles cereal- you can use name brand or generic in this recipe, whichever you prefer.
• Frosting – Vanilla frosting- homemade or store bought. I highly recommend our easy vanilla buttercream.
• Sprinkles – Rainbow sprinkles- the classic jimmies style or nonpareils both will work in this recipe. 

You’ll also need non stick cooking spray.

This is essential as things will get really sticky, really fast.

How To Make

Making these easy frosted fruity pebbles treats is super simple, making it perfect for kids to help with!

Start by melting your butter.

Do this over low heat so that it melts, but doesn’t scorch or burn.

Once the butter’s melted, stir in the marshmallows.

Continue stirring until they’ve completely melted and the mixture’s smooth.

Remove the pan from heat, and briefly set it aside.

Here’s where the nonstick cooking spray becomes important.

The marshmallow mixture is super sticky, so much so that that’s pretty much an understatement.

It’s going to stick to everything and anything it touches, including the spatula.

Liberally spray your spatula, on both sides, with non stick spray.

Transfer the marshmallow mixture into a large mixing bowl using your prepared spatula, then pour in the cereal.

Stir until everything’s evenly combined and the cereal’s coated well.

Liberally spray a 9×13″ baking dish with nonstick cooking spray.

Transfer the cereal mixture to the prepared baking dish, and spread out in an even layer using your spatula.

Press the mixture out evenly to make sure it’s packed down.

Set the dish aside and let the fruity pebbles rice krispies cool completely.

Once cooled and completely set, about 1 hour, spread frosting out overtop in an even layer.

Top with sprinkles.

When ready to serve, use a sharp knife to cut into squares.

Storing Frosted Fruity Pebbles Treats

Once cooled completely you can store the treats in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to a week.

Because they’re frosted- these treats will need to be refrigerated.

TIPS & TRICKS

• To make removing the frosted fruity pebbles treats easier, you can line your dish with parchment paper.
• Don’t forget to spray BOTH the spatula and the baking dish with nonstick cooking spray to prevent sticking.
• Make sure the treats have cooled completely before frosting.
