    Superbowl Party: Rainbow Krispy Bars

    Published: Feb 6, 2011 · Modified: Jun 28, 2022 by Ashley

    Stack of rainbow rice krispy bars.

    I saw this post over on Babble a while back, and it reminded me of something I ate once and wanted to try out for myself.

    I didn't realize that there's a recipe that's similar to this on the box of Fruity Pebbles, which I'll probably use next time, since these were a little too sticky and difficult to work with.

    The recipe on the box calls for more butter and a whole box of cereal. I think that would work better. These were still mushy when I cut them, but they did taste great, and went over well at the party.

    Rainbow Krispy Bars
    Babble

    2 tablespoons butter
    1 package mini marshmallows
    5 cups Fruity Pebbles cereal

    In a large pan, melt the butter with your stove turned to medium heat.
    Use a wooden spoon to stir the butter Pour the whole bag of
    marshmallows into the pot and stir them until they are melted and
    mixed with the butter. Add the cereal into the pot and stir it up
    until all of the cereal is well mixed. Pour the mixture into a large
    bread pan which has been sprayed with nonstick cooking spray. Allow
    bars to cool slightly before serving.

      When you say "Large" bread pan, are you talking bout a 8x8, 9x9 or 9x13? I can't tell from your image - it looks like a 9x13, but I've actually never made rice krispy treats (bars). My mom always did.

      With this recipe, you need to use a smaller pan - 8x8 or 9x9. I think the recipe on the box is probably better, and I think that one calls for a 9x13.
