These Fruity Pebbles rice crispy bars combine nostalgic childhood flavors with a rich, melty chocolate drizzle for a quick, colorful, and addictive treat.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 4 tablespoons (56g) unsalted butter
  • 6 cups (about 180g) mini marshmallows
  • 6 cups (about 150g) Fruity Pebbles cereal
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1 cup (175g) semi-sweet chocolate chips
  • 1 teaspoon vegetable oil (optional, for thinning chocolate)

Instructions

  1. Line a 9×13-inch baking pan with parchment paper, leaving some overhang on the sides. Lightly grease the parchment with butter or nonstick spray.
  2. In a large saucepan over low heat, melt 4 tablespoons (56g) of unsalted butter without browning it.
  3. Add 6 cups (about 180g) of mini marshmallows and stir continuously with a heat-resistant spatula until completely melted and smooth, about 5-7 minutes.
  4. Remove the pan from heat and stir in 1 teaspoon of vanilla extract.
  5. Quickly fold in 6 cups (about 150g) of Fruity Pebbles cereal, coating every bit in the marshmallow mixture.
  6. Transfer the mixture to the prepared pan and gently press down to an even layer using a buttered spatula or wax paper. Avoid packing too tightly.
  7. Let the pan sit at room temperature until the bars set, about 1 hour.
  8. While bars cool, melt 1 cup (175g) semi-sweet chocolate chips with 1 teaspoon vegetable oil in a microwave-safe bowl or double boiler, heating in 20-second bursts and stirring between.
  9. Lift the set bars out of the pan using the parchment overhang and place on a cutting board. Drizzle the melted chocolate over the top in zigzag patterns and let harden for 15-20 minutes.
  10. Use a sharp knife warmed under hot water and dried to cut bars into squares or rectangles. Serve immediately or store as desired.

Notes

Keep heat low when melting marshmallows to avoid scorching. Press mixture gently to keep bars light and airy. Warm knife under hot water and dry before cutting for clean edges. If bars are sticky after cooling, refrigerate 10-15 minutes before slicing. Add vegetable oil to chocolate if drizzle is too thick.
