Fruit Loop Rice Krispies Treats

"So simple, I almost hate to post the recipe, but I'll forget about it if I don't. The kids went nuts for these glorified Rice Krispies Treats. Fruit Loops give some color and just enough sweetness. Would be great for a bake sale."

  1. This were so darn yummy! We all love regular Krispie Treats and never felt the need to change them, but thought the Fruit Loops sounded irresistable. They provide an extra sweetness and crunch and we all loved them more than regular Krispie recipe. I did halve the recipe, just because my daughter and I got into the marshmallows! Roxygirl
     
  2. such a fun twist on traditional rice krispie bars - would be fun with other cereals like fruity pebbles or cocoa puffs!
     
  3. My kids loved this! I used Rice Krispies, fruit flavored Cheerios, and fruit flavored mini-marshmellows. It was easy to make and very quick.
     
  4. Fast, Easy and Good. These were a huge hit at our party. Half of them were gone before we ate dinner.
     
  5. Easy and fast. I didnt have exactly the right ingredients, so used only fruit loops and I had the rainbow(fruit) marshmallows. Super fruity taste, but the color was a little peach instead of white. Thanks for the recipe!

  1. I can't really rate this because I didn't follow your recipe, just the idea. But I used corn pops instead of fruit loops and no rice crispies. They turned out quite well, next time I will use 13 cups of cereal instead of 11 because I had extra marshmallow mixture pool at the bottom of the pan. Thanks for the idea!
