Fruity Pebbles have gone through many flavor (and color!) iterations over the years. Orange, lemon, and cherry are the primary flavors of Fruity Pebbles, with several berry flavors being added over the years (Berry blue, Incrediberry Purple, and Bedrock Berry Pink).
Yes! While unsalted butter is the norm, salted butter can help cut through the sweetness and enhance the fruity flavors. Give it a try!
You may have overcooked the marshmallows when melting them, leading to hard treats, or you may have packed the mixture too tightly into the pan. Keep an eye on the marshmallows as they melt, and gently pack the mixture into the pan.
Yes! In a large microwave-safe large bowl, melt the butter and the marshmallows for about 2-3 minutes. The marshmallows will expand as they heat up. Once they have melted, remove the bowl from the microwave, and stir the butter into the marshmallows, making sure they are completely melted. Pour in the Fruity Pebbles, and quickly stir them in, until they are coated with the melted marshmallows.
Try to use a good quality knife that you know will leave smooth edges when you go to slice the treats. Also, you could always transfer the treats to a baking sheet and use a pizza cutter.
These rainbow treats are pretty to take pictures of, easy to make, and SO satisfying to eat! They check all of the right boxes.
Don’t you hate when you eat a treat like this and it’s stale? That’s why it’s best to make them at home instead of buying the plastic wrapped store-bought stuff. These treats are always both chewy and crispy – never stale.
Storage Instructions
Store leftover Fruity Pebbles treats in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days. If the treats seem a bit too firm, microwave them for 8-10 seconds, or until softened.
Freezing Instructions
Freeze Fruity Pebbles treats whole or cut into squares and tightly wrapped in plastic wrap for up to 6 weeks. Allow the treats to thaw at room temperature before enjoying.
Substitutions
- You can use mini or regular-sized marshmallows in this recipe.
- Use rainbow marshmallows for even more color!

- If you are not a fan of Fruity Pebbles, try Cocoa Pebbles for a chocolate version! Or, use your favorite cereal!
Fruity Pebbles Treats Tips
- I like to add about 1 cup of extra marshmallows to make them extra gooey.
- Be careful to not overcook the marshmallows or the treats will be hard. Take them off of the heat once they are starting to be gooey.
- The trick to making these treats is to stir quickly before the marshmallows start to set.
- I like to add extra mini marshmallows into the mixture once it cools a little so I get bursts of marshmallow flavor in each bar, plus a unique texture.
- Lightly grease your hands with nonstick spray before pressing the treats to keep them from sticking to your hands, or use a piece of greased parchment or wax paper to smooth the treats.
Melt that butter and grab the marshmallows, because it’s time to indulge in the fruity treat you deserve! Fruity Pebbles Treats are an easy-to-make snack that’s great for popping into lunch boxes or enjoying as an after-dinner dessert.
