These fun treats are an easy twist on the classic Rice Krispies treats — your kids (and adults, too!) will love these fruity pebbles no-bake bars.

Fruity Pebbles No-Bake Bars on RachelCooks.com

If you were to judge my blog lately, you’d think I turned back into a giant child. Oreo Popcorn, Nerds Milkshakes, and then these no-bake bars. Okay, well, there was vodka too. But other than that, it’s kid-city around these parts right now.

BUT. These bars aren’t just for kids. Oh no, no, no…I promise you everyone will love these. They’re ultra soft, ultra chewy, and ultra sweet. And just a little colorful. If you’re having a rainbow birthday party for any of your kids — these should definitely be your dessert.

I love adding extra marshmallows in with the cereal in crispy treat style bars. I always make my classic Rice Krispies treats that way. Extra marshmallows make the cookies extra gooey, extra delicious, and extra fun.

In other news, we just got back from a week of vacation at my in-laws’ place in Northern Michigan, at their beautiful lake home.

And OF COURSE, the second day we were there, my little man ended up in the ER. Little dude must like it there or something. This time he ran into a chair and split his forehead open. I’ll spare you that photo, although he does look super tough. He was a trooper, didn’t even cry one bit in the ER. Luckily no stitches were needed (just glue) but for Pete’s sake! This kid is giving me grey hairs.

Once we were done with that excitement, we were able to spend tons of time outside and time with Ben’s parents and grandma. Kids slept well, I enjoyed some champagne and even got a tiny tan. I call all that a major vacation success — despite the ER visit.

Now we’re home and it’s back to business. We should be closing on our house this week (Eeeeeeee!!!!) and then things will get really interesting as we’ll have to prep our condo, list it and hopefully sell it asap.

I’m glad I don’t have any of these bars in the house because I’d totally eat the whole pan out of nervousness about the house stuff. Maybe I should make some for open houses. The only problem is there would be none left for the people viewing the house.

That’s my Etch-a-Sketch version of our new house, btw. This is the kind of thing you spend your time on when you’re on vacation with kids. I remember the days when we’d just lounge on the boat working on our tans. Sometimes we’d drive it out to the sunken island and toss the frisbee around — never setting down the ice cold beer in the other hand. And of course I was in a bikini with no stretch marks.

But drawing on the Etch-a-Sketch and going to the ER is way better. Okay…maybe not those things but having kids is the best. Despite the lack of bikinis and beer.

    I want to make these for a party but I really need to make them the day before or morning of. Which is acceptable or should the be made right before serving?

      You could make them the day before, but they’ll be better if you make them the same day – the morning would be fine!

    The recipe is great. You talking about your house and other things. No one is interested. We come here for a recipe, thats all that should be on here. You want to talk aboutother things make that a separate link. Then you can have some click bait.

      Hi Brandon,
      As you probably noticed, it is free to access and use any recipe on this site. You can even print them and keep them forever — for free! However, if the scrolling is too much for you to handle, I understand if you need to choose another recipe site…there are lots of great ones on the internet. Many of my readers enjoy the personal stories and actually care that I’m a person behind this blog – I’ve even had requests for MORE personal stories!
      Take care!
      Rachel

      Hey numbnuts, just scroll to the bottom. This recipe was provided to you at no cost. If this lady wants to was poetic for a bit, she can go right ahead… and hopefully she can make some affiliate money while doing so. As for me? I get a free recipe with some great photos. I hope you find some peace in your life.

      I mean, i dont really read the blog stuff either, (she does have nice photos tho) but at the top there is a button that says “JUMP TO RECIPE”. Some people love the article, some dont. Still great recipe. And remember, we are all different, but we are all still people. We need to stand up for each other and support each other.

      I’m not really trying to sound like a jerk, we just all need to be Fruity Pebbles Bars friends :)

    Thank you for the recipe, and the beautiful pictures on Instagram. Just an FYI, though, Higgins Lake is not in Northern Michigan. It is in the northern part of lower Michigan. I am from Northern Michigan

      Hi Danielle, I’m glad you like the recipe! I think the argument for the terminology “Northern Michigan” could go either way, but I think I’m safe in calling Higgins Lake Northern Michigan: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Northern_Michigan :)
