Fruity Pebble Rice Krispie Treats
This post may contain affiliate links. Please read our disclosure policy.
While on vacation with my family recently, my daughter begged me to buy her these fruity pebble rice krispie treats she found at the store. I had a hard time saying no to her (what else is new, ha!), so there she was moments later, happily enjoying a fruity pebble rice krispie treat.
I knew I had to add this recipe to my must-make list, and I am so happy I did because they’re so nostalgic and delicious!
They’re fun, vibrant, and a perfect spin on the classic beloved rice krispie treat. They combine the fruity, rainbow-colored goodness from the Fruity Pebble Cereal and the classic Rice Krispie Cereal, bound together by gooey, melted mini marshmallows.
Top them with a drizzle of melted white chocolate, and you’ve just made a visually stunning, gooey, tasty, crunchy treat!
These will surely bring joy to your day, and I hope you love them!
Why this recipe works
- Incredibly easy to make
- Perfect for parties or just when you want a colorful treat!
- They’re nostalgic
- Made with just a handful of easy-to-find ingredients
- Ideal for making in advance and serving when ready!
Ingredient Notes
Scroll down to the recipe card for the full list of ingredients and measurements.
- Butter: if you use salted butter, omit the additional salt added.
- Mini marshmallows: I like to use mini marshmallows because they melt quicker and more evenly. We’re also folding in some of the mini marshmallows after the cereal is added, so the little mini pockets of marshmallows create the perfect bite.
- Vanilla and Salt: to help add more flavor.
- Rice Krispies: Of course! You’ll need 4 cups.
- Fruity Pebbles: you’ll need 2 cups plus a little extra if you want to crush some on top for garnish.
- White chocolate: kinda optional but kinda not. 😉 It’s the perfect drizzle for a finishing touch!
Step by Step Directions

Melt the butter
Grab a large pot and melt the butter.
Melt marshmallows
Melt in just 6 cups of the mini marshmallows.
Add in the cereals
Remove from heat, add in the vanilla, salt, and both cereals. Stir it up!
Add remaining marshmallows
Stir in the mini marshmallows just until combined, leaving some gooey pockets in there still.
Press gently into pan
Press into prepared 9×9-inch pan, and allow to cool for 30-60 minutes at room temperature.
Slice & drizzle!
Cut into squares. Drizzle melted white chocolate over the top and enjoy!
Expert Tips & Variations
- Prep the ingredients before you begin: these treats come together fast once you start. It’s best to get all ingredients measured and ready to go before you start.
- Line the baking pan with parchment or wax paper so you can easily lift the rice krispies out of the pan.
- Work quickly: the marshmallow mixture will begin to harden as it cools, so once everything is mixed work quickly to get it transferred into the pan.
- Gently press the rice krispy mixture instead of compacting it in tightly. You can smooth the tops with a leftover butter wrapper or spray a rubber spatula with baking spray and gently press down into an even layer.
- Cool for enough time: Allow the treats to cool and set completely at room temperature. This usually takes about an hour.
- You can chill them in the fridge for about 30 minutes to make them easier to cut, but not for too long, as this can make them hard.
Storage
- At room temperature: They can last for up to 2-3 days and still maintain their freshness and texture.
- In the refrigerator: They can last for about 1 week, although they may become slightly firmer.
- In the freezer: Rice Krispies treats can be frozen for up to 6 weeks. Wrap them tightly in plastic wrap or aluminum foil before placing them in an airtight container or freezer bag. Thaw them in the refrigerator overnight before serving.

These look great, just like all your other creations. Is it possible to just do 6 cups of Fruity Pebbles and omit the Rice Krispies? Or are the Fruit Pebbles not dense enough to hold up on their own? Thanks.
Thank you 🙂 I am not sure since I haven’t tested it. I feel it might be a little overwhelming using that much fruity pebbles. But that’s just my opinion, if you try it out please let me know how it goes, I am curious!
