Fruity Pebble Rice Krispy Treats Recipe
I almost feel guilty about posting this recipe. Almost. I mean, it’s not revolutionary. It’s not challenging. It might even seem a bit…*ahem…boring. I understand. BUT. I will tell you of ALL THE THINGS I make. I mean ALL of them. This no bake dessert is actually the most requested thing I make in my real life.
If I am asked to bring something to a party…these are what people want. And I don’t just mean kids. You guys know my love affair with Fruity Pebbles…and my long standing marriage to Krispie Treats has been well documented here on this website. So let’s bring the boyfriend into meet the husband. I feel like it might be an arrangement that works for everyone.
Tips For Making The Best Rice Krispie Treats
- The trick for this cereal treat is getting the perfect ratio of Fruity Pebbles to Rice Krispies. The magic happens in the balance. Too many Fruity Pebbles your treats get too sweet, too few, well…it’s just not enough!
- Next up the exact right amount of marshmallows. I used my Perfect Krispie Treat recipe as the guide because, well, they’re perfect. If you aren’t familiar with that recipe, go ahead and hop over and print it out. You’ll need to commit that one to memory forevermore bc it’s the last krispie treat recipe you’ll ever need.
- A little pinch of salt! It might seem weird, but it’s all about that balance. It really makes a difference!
Fruity Pebble Krispie Treat Ingredients:
- Butter
- Mini marshmallows
- Rice Krispie Cereal
- Fruity Pebbles Cereal
- Kosher salt
How to Make Fruity Pebble Rice Krispie Treats
Like I said, it’s all about the Pebble to Krispie ratio. I go with 2/3 Krispies and 1/3 Pebbles. Sounds a little Pebbles light, doesn’t it? Do NOT worry. I promise you it’s the right call.
- Line a 9×9 pan with parchment paper and spray lightly with cooking spray, set aside.
- In a large pot over low heat melt butter. Once butter in melted add in 8 cups mini marshmallows, stirring constantly.
- Once the marshmallows are just melted remove from heat and stir both cereals and salt until just coated in the melted marshmallow mixture. Now stir in the remaining 2 cups of mini marshmallows.
- Pour mixture into prepared pan and press in evenly.
- Allow to cool completely before cutting into squares. Best if served same day.
I’m telling you, these are freaking ridiculous.
Wait until they cool to cut them into squares. It doesn’t take long.
And enjoy the fruity twist on classic rice krispie treats! They will be gone quick!
You can increase this recipe by 1/2 and make them in a 9×13 pan if you would like to feed a larger crowd!

Should I use salted butter or unsalted
I alwasy use salted, but certainly it’s a personal preference 🙂
So I made this recipe last night and while they were still tasty, they were more similar to fruity pebble marshmallows. I took her “10 cups of marshmallows” in the literal sense – so 80 ounces (8oz in one ‘cup’, recipe calls for 10 cups). This means 8, yes, I mean 8 10oz bags of mini marshmallows. I got to the sixth bag and realized this was a terrible mistake haha I’m sure she meant 10 measuring cups, which would make the marshmallow and krispy ratio far more equal.
Ahh yes, cup measurement, not fluid ounce cups! That would be a lot of marshmallows!
I too am borderline obsessed with Krispy Treats! These were uhhmazing and love that tiny bit of salt in every few bites!
I made these for a beach weekend with my elementary school aged nieces and nephews and they were a big hit with the kids and adults! Excellent job on the ratio of cereal and marshmallows, and adding the whole marshmallows at the end is genius. Thanks for sharing!
How am I supposed to make this recipe when there is an obnoxious advertisement placed directly over the instructions?
Sorry if there is an ad that is giving you trouble. You can usually “x” the ad out.
Thank you for responding. The ad is not there today, so that’s good; however, there was no way to “x” out of the ad yesterday. Maybe there was a glitch… Looking forward to making these treats.
I completely understand the frustration! I will look into why there wasn’t an “x” out option! Thanks for your feedback!
I would really like to make these for my “adult” kids that are visiting over the 4th of July. Pebbles is their favorite cereal and they love Krispie Treats, so these will surely be a big hit!
But, I am confused with the “written” recipe because it does not “match” the described recipe and pictured treat.
You say in the description of how to make these, to use 2/3 Krispies and 1/3 Pebbles ratio but, the written recipe uses a different ratio with more Pebbles.
You also state to add marshmallow fluff but, the written recipe does not include this.
I would like to make the exact recipe as you described and have pictured.
PLEASE advise.
Hi Karen! I don’t use Marshmallow Fluff in this recipe 🙂 In the post, I reference another recipe that I use this same flavor combo (krispies and pebbles) that I DO use Fluff in, I linked that recipe in the text, so you can absolutely click over and read that recipe. I just added that link and reference for anyone interested, or for long-time readers of my blog who might remember that similar recipe. But I wanted to point out the differences.
Also, there are a total of 6 cups of cereal in this recipe. 4 cups are rice krispies and 2 cups are fruity pebbles. 2 cups of pebbles, does equal 1/3 of the total 6 cups. Hope that makes sense!
The written recipe is exactly what is pictured 🙂
I love rice krispy treats. I tend to go heavy handed on the marshmallows too. I don’t like when they are too “dry.” What I do that makes my different from the normal rice krispy treat, is I add about 1/2 – 1 bag of chocolate chips to the marshmallow mixture. It’s delicious!
great tip!! I will totally try that!
Fruity Pebbles are my favorite and I could definitely get behind them as kripy treats!
A favorite treat for young and old alike.
Never thought about adding in the Extra marshmallows. Great Idea.
Thank U
