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!

HI! Do you think you could sub cinnamon toast crunch 1:1 for the rice cereal? Also, this recipe is amazing. I get asked to make it all the time.
Yes I think that would work! If you notice it is too marshmallowy just add more cereal!
This is a fantastic recipe and by far my favorite one to use. The marshmallow to butter ratio makes these treats super moist and chewy, unlike other recipe I’ve tried in the past where it would come out dry and hard. Sometimes I’ll add sprinkles to the mix, just for fun. Any time I make this recipe it’s a fan favorite!
So glad you like them! They are one of my most requested treat recipes from friends and family!
I use nothing but fruity pebbles and I use the fruity marshmallows, so delicious. I also make cocoa pebbles treats and I use chocolate marshmallows in those. Rice crispys are too bland. Walmart sells the ones you make and for me there’s just not enough flavor.
This recipe was perfect. Made them for a fundraiser. I vamped them by putting a pop stick in them and added some white chocolate and sprinkles. they were adorable and very tasty. I also made them in a jelly roll pan evening them out to the top which made them all perfectly sized.
I want to make this for my Granddaughter’s 1st Birthday, but was planning on using a #1 cookie cutter to make that shape. Wondering if i should spread as deep as the cookie cutter, then cut? Do these stay soft, if I make the day before, they will be soft, not hard for the party the next day? I’m excited to try this recipe. Other recipes are too yellow. The birthday theme is Rainbow, these should be perfect!!
I always recommend that you make krispie treats the day that you are going to serve them, but these should be fine if you make them the day before, but I would wait to cut them into shapes until the day you serve them. They might be a little thick in a 9×9 pan depending on how thin the #1 is, so you can make them in a 9×13 to thin them a bit.
These are so delicious! I don’t think I will make regular rice krispy treats again. I am so glad I found this recipe. I brought them to a party and everyone loved them.
Love hearing that so much!!
Is it supppsed to be 10oz of marshmallows insteas of 10 cups? A regular size bag of marshmallows is 10oz.
Nope, 10 cups!
I made these last night. They were way too salty for my taste.
These turned out wonderful and didn’t last very long!
Hi there. Does this recipe work with a 9 x 13 baking dish?
Sure, you can use a 9×13 they will just be a bit thinner…OR you can increase the recipe by half and it will work perfect! If you like them extra thick you can double it 🙂
Thank you! How do you get these cut in such perfect squares? The tops and sides are so even!
