Last year Dallin came home from school and said, “Mom, my friend said you should open a bakery.” I thought that was cute and questioned why he would tell him that. He then went on to say that he often shares the things that I bake with his friends like my banana nut bread, pumpkin chocolate chip muffins, and cookies. I’m glad that he enjoys my home-baked goods and that Dallin shares with him. It’s fun to add a homemade treat inside my kids’ lunches.

Sometimes I go all out and bake a delicious bread from scratch, other times I cater to their little sweet tooth with a marshmallowy, gooey, recipe like this Fruit pebbles treats recipe.  We all know that cereal isn’t just a breakfast food! I eat it all day long and am not ashamed to say that we even have it for dinner on occasion.

You can turn pretty much any cereal into some sort of treat or snack. This Fruity Pebbles treats recipe takes just minutes and makes 18 giant squares. What takes them up a notch is my secret ingredient: marshmallows. Now I know what you are thinking, “Um, duh. They have marshmallows”, but hear me out! Toss in a couple of handfuls of mini marshmallows RIGHT before pouring the mixture into a pan. They won’t’ have time to melt all the way and make these treat SUPER spongy and delicious.

You can wrap them individually in plastic wrap and keep them on hand for lunches. They’d also be AWESOME at a bake sale. Both these and my giant Rice Krispies treats are always a hit!

How many Fruity Pebbles treats does this recipe make?

It all depends on how large you cut them, but I can easily get 18 large Fruity Pebbles treats from one batch.

Can you make Fruity Pebbles with jumbo marshmallows?

Jumbo marshmallows melt easily too. Yes, you can use either mini or jumbo, but mini are better for tossing in at the end for the spongy treats.

Are Fruity Pebbles gluten free?

Yes. Fruity Pebbles and Rice Krispies are both gluten-free.

How do you store Fruity Pebbles Treats?

Wrap them individually in plastic wrap to keep them from sticking from each other and to keep them fresh.
