What do I need to make Fruity Pebbles treats?
Here’s a quick reference checklist of the ingredients you’ll need to make these easy marshmallow treats:

- Butter – necessary for melting the marshmallows.
- White Chocolate chips – optional, but a treat addition to the tops of these cereal treats.
- Non-stick cooking spray – this is very helpful, not only for spraying your pan, but for spraying on your hands when pressing the cereal treats into the pan.

How do I make Fruity Pebbles treats?
Fruity pebbles marshmallow treats are made just like Rice Krispie treats are made. No stove top cooking is necessary, as you can melt the marshmallows and butter in the microwave.
To start, add the mini marshmallows and butter to a microwave safe bowl. Microwave on 1 minute increments until the marshmallows are completely melted with the butter. Mixture will be very sticky.
Using a rubber scraper, fold together the melted marshmallow mixture and the Fruity pebbles. Mix together until completely combined. Then, add the extra mini marshmallows to the mixture and fold into the cereal mixture.
Press the cereal mixture into a 9 x 9″ pan that has been sprayed with non-stick spray. It is very helpful to also spray your hands with the non-stick spray to prevent the marshmallow mixture from sticking to your hands.
Once you’ve pressed the cereal mixture into the pan, top the marshmallow treats with some white chocolate chips. These are optional, but a great addition and topping to these treats. Press the white chocolate chips down slightly into the treats.
Let the treats cool and come to room temperature for at least 30 minutes before cutting. This will help them maintain their shape.

Look awesome! Thanks for sharing. I will be making these the night before. When you say refrigerate until ready to serve, I’m assuming because of the frosting? This won’t make the bars hard? Thanks!
Yes, refrigerating the bars until ready to serve helps the frosting set. The bars won’t get hard, in fact, the frosting helps keep them nice and chewy and works as a nice moisture layer. They’re really delicious! Enjoy! ~Erin

In the frosting part what does “cream the butter” mean? Is butter mixed in the frosting?
