How to Make Homemade Fruity Pebbles Rice Krispie Treats
Grease a 9×13 baking dish and a large spoon with non stick spray,
Combine the butter and marshmallows in a large bowl and microwave for 2 minutes.
Stir constantly until the mixture is smooth and creamy. Then fold in the Fruity Pebbles and gently stir until they are evenly covered.
Transfer cereal mixture to the prepared pan and gently press down with a greased spoon or spatula to compact the treats.
Cover and let them set up for 3 to 4 hours before slicing.
Tips for making Fruity Pebbles Rice Krispie treats
- For best results, use fresh marshmallows – they melt better.
- Work quickly after you’ve melted the marshmallows and butter – it’s easier to stir and work with the mixture when it’s warm.
- If there’s too much of the marshmallow mixture, add more cereal a cup at a time until you reach the desired consistency.
- Place a piece of parchment paper on top of the treats before compressing them – it makes things less sticky.
- To keep the treats from falling apart, make sure you let them rest before slicing.
- When you’re ready to cut into bars, grease the knife to make cutting easier.

Variations
- Substitute with Cocoa Pebbles if preferred.
- To make thicker treats, use a 10×7 pan or double the recipe and use a 9×13 pan.
- If you like larger marshmallow pieces in your treats, stir in a 1/2 cup of unmelted mallows before transferring to the pan. This also adds a nice texture to the cereal treats.
- For a slightly less sweet treat, use half Fruity Pebbles and half regular Rice Krispies.
Storage Instructions
Store in an airtight container or plastic ziptop bag on the counter for up to 3 days. But ours never last this long.
Can I Use Large Marshmallows?
Yes, but I would recommend cutting them into quarters before melting. They’ll melt more evenly and keep the mixture creamy.
A cup of mini marshmallows is the equivalent of 8 regular marshmallows, meaning you would need approximately 64 regular sized mallows for this recipe.
