These Fruity Pebbles Treats Stay Soft and Chewy!

My husband took one bite of these and said, “Those are outstanding!” He loves Fruity Pebbles, but doesn’t like marshmallows, and still gave these a rave review!

These Fruity Pebbles Treats stay soft and chewy because this recipe has the best cereal-to-marshmallow ratio, the heat is controlled by using the microwave instead of the stove top, and just make sure not to press the mixture in to the pan too firm!

All I did was swap Fruity Pebbles for Rice Krispies in my popular Rice Krispie Treat recipe! These are so colorful and so much fun! And, they are super easy to make.

Why this Recipe Works:

• Gentle Mixing Protects the Cereal – Folding the cereal in just until coated prevents crushing the Fruity Pebbles. Over-mixing can bread down the cereal’s coating, causing color streaking and dense bars.
• Lightly Pressing Keeps the Bars Soft – I have found that packing them down too firmly causes the bars to be hard instead of soft and chewy.
• Room Temperature Maintains Chewiness – Letting the treats set at room temperature allows them to firm up without drying out.

Ingredients You’ll Need:

• 3 tbsp Butter (Melted) – Adds richness and helps the marshmallows melt smoothly while preventing the mixture from sticking.
• 1 (10 oz) bag Marshmallows – A sweet, sticky binder that holds the cereal together and gives the treats their soft, chewy texture.
• 6 cups Fruity Pebbles Cereal – Signature fruity flavor, vibrant color, and light, crispy crunch that makes these treats fun and nostalgic.
