When did you stop loving sugary, rainbow-flecked kid cereal? You’re all grown up now and your grocery app favorites are full of probiotic, fiber-packed, flax plus healthy cereals. That’s fine for breakfast. But what about afternoon snacks? Treat yourself and your kids to a mouthful of childhood morning nostalgia with Fruity PEBBLES Crispy Bars.

If you are going to a party, it’s fun to cut the treats into two-bite sized pieces and stick colored toothpicks in them so they don’t get your fingers sticky.
I try to always keep a box of fun cereal and a bag of marshmallows in my pantry because marshmallow and cereal treats are the simplest and quickest treats I know to make. And just like when I make Rice Krispies treats, if I have a jar of marshmallow creme on hand, I also stir in about 1/2 to 1 cup after I add the cereal.

Have you made Fruity PEBBLES Crispy Bars? What other cereals have you made “Krispies treat” with? Back in 2013, Special K had a blueberry cereal that I loved so much I made it into treats. Here’s the story behind that.

Here’s another fun story about making sweets with cereal at the beginning of the COVID-19 pandemic when it was hard to find flour, sugar, and eggs.

Do you remember General Mills Cocoa Puffs Brownie Crunch Cereal from back in 2011? I made that into Brownie Crunch Mint Crispy Bars by adding Andes Crème de Menthe Baking Chips. Then the cereal went away for a very long time. But guess what? It’s back!

What are some of the cereals you use to make treats with? Have you used the flavored mini marshmallows? Have you ever mixed cereals? For example, I’m thinking I could mix the Brownie Crunch with Cookie Crisp. Or Rice Krispies with Cocoa Krispies. Maybe even Golden Grahams and Cap’n Crunch cereals. Share in the comments below!
