My Fruity Pebbles Crispy Treat Bars bring back the best childhood memories with their rainbow colors and sweet marshmallow goodness. When I first started making these my kitchen turned into this magical place filled with the fruity aroma of melting marshmallows and cereal.
Pure Joy in Every Bite
These treats are so much fun to make and even more fun to eat. That white chocolate drizzle takes them from simple snack to something special. Plus they're no-bake which means less time waiting and more time enjoying.

- Mini Marshmallows: 5 cups, melted, with an extra cup for mixing in.

Let's Make Some Magic
- Start with the Good Stuff
- Melt that butter and marshmallows until they're perfectly smooth and gooey.
- Mix in the Rainbow
- Fold in your Fruity Pebbles gently you want them evenly coated but not crushed.
- Make Them Extra Special
- Add those extra marshmallows for surprising pops of softness.
- Add Some Sparkle
- That white chocolate drizzle makes them look as special as they taste.
My Best Tips
Don't press too hard when spreading them in the pan we want them soft and chewy not dense. Mini marshmallows are your best friend here they melt so much better than the big ones. Let that chocolate set completely before cutting trust me it's worth the wait.

Make Them Your Own
I love switching up the cereals sometimes trying Cocoa Pebbles or Cinnamon Toast Crunch. Each one brings its own special flavor. Adding sprinkles or different chocolate drizzles lets you customize them for any occasion.
Keep Them Fresh
These treats stay perfectly chewy in an airtight container for a few days though they rarely last that long in my house. A quick minute at room temperature brings back that fresh-made texture if you've stored them in the fridge.
