Easily make my Funfetti Rice Krispies Treats recipe, a delicious back to school treat for lunches, after school snacks or for anytime!
- 5 ½ cups (5 oz/142 g) Rice Krispies cereal
- 2 ½ cups (2 ¼ oz/65 g) Fruity Pebbles cereal
- 1 cup (6 oz/170 g) white chocolate chips, plus an extra handful for topping (optional)
- ¼ cup (2oz/57 g) butter
- 5 cups (10 oz/285 g) marshmallows
-
Line a 9x13-inch (23x33 cm) pan with parchment paper and set aside.
-
In a large bowl, combine the Rice Krispies cereal, Fruity Pebbles cereal and 1 cup (6 oz/170 g) white chocolate chips. Set aside.
-
Add the butter and marshmallows into a large, microwave-safe bowl and cook on high for 30-seconds at a time, stirring in between, until the marshmallows are melted. This will take 2-3 minutes.
-
Carefully fold the cereal mixture into the melted marshmallows until fully coated, taking care not to crush the cereal.
-
Pour the mixture into the prepared pan and very gently spread and flatten into an even layer. If desired, sprinkle a few more white chocolate chips over the top, pressing down gently to help them adhere.
-
Let the Rice Krispie treat set for an hour before cutting into squares. Store at room temperature in an airtight container for up to 7 days.
- This recipe uses Fruity Pebbles cereal to make it colorful. If you can’t find this, use an equal amount of Rice Krispie cereal and mix ½ cup (3 ½ oz/100 g) of sprinkles.
- You can use either full sized or mini marshmallows to make this recipe. Go by weight for the most accurate measurement. If you don’t have a kitchen scale, look on the bag the marshmallows came in. There is usually a weight printed on there.
- Marshmallows and butter can be melted on the stove if you don’t have a microwave. Use a large, heavy bottomed pot over low heat, stirring constantly to prevent burning, until fully melted.
- Use low heat or short microwave spurts when melting marshmallows and stop cooking as soon as the marshmallows are melted. Overheated marshmallows can caramelize the sugar and result in hard rice krispies.
- When mixing the cereal with the melted marshmallows, be gentle to keep the Fruity Pebbles intact. This will keep your treats looking their best.
- For an extra special handheld treat, fill Homemade Ice Cream Cones (or store bought) with the Rice Krispie Treat while it’s still warm and let set before serving. Kids absolutely love this.
