These fun cereal treats have a fruity crust, a creamy cheesecake middle, and a crispy Fruity Pebbles cookie crumble on top.

People who don’t even like Fruity Pebbles cereal have told me that they LOVE these fruity pebbles treats. They are pretty special.

They also feel a little more “adult” than other fruity pebbles recipes that are like classic rice krispies treats with gooey marshmallow.

Not that there is anything wrong with fruity pebbles rice krispie treats. If you want a recipe for those classic marshmallow treats, please let me know and I’ll post one.

I just wanted something different. Something that isn’t overly sweet, but is still bright and colorful with a fun, fruity twist. Something that all generations could enjoy.

These Fruity Pebble Treats are a great way to nostalgically bond with friends and family at birthday parties, holidays, potlucks, or just because.

Unique Fruity Pebbles Treats Recipe

I originally bought a huge box of Fruity Pebbles to make this Fruity Pebbles Cookie Recipe - Soft, Chewy, & Fun.

Which is also delicious. If you’re looking for more Fruity Pebbles recipes or other cereal treats that kids of all ages will definitely love, I recommend checking it out - Fruity Pebbles Cookies.

This Fruity Pebbles Bar recipe uses a version of that cookie dough for its top layer.

The dough is sprinkled on top of the cheesecake layer then MORE Fruity Pebbles cereal is added around the dough for truly fruity, crispy treats.

I originally planned to make the bottom layer of these Fruity Pebbles Bars be a thick, even layer of Fruity Pebbles Krispie treats. I even bought fresh marshmallows.

BUT, I really wanted to make a cheesecake center. I love cream cheese so much. I also thought the tanginess of cheesecake would compliment the fruity flavor of the cereal. And, it does.

Because of the cheesecake center, these cereal bars need to be refrigerated. Which does not work with classic Rice Krispie Treats or any type of cereal treats that follow the classic recipe.

If you put those treats in the fridge, the marshmallow mixture becomes hard and I didn’t want to chip any more teeth. But, that’s a story for another time.

So, the bottom layer of this Fruity Pebbles Bar recipe is a fruity, graham cracker crust.

It’s just like the classic cheesecake base, except it also has Fruity Pebbles cereal in it!

How to Bake Bars

This delicious recipe uses a 9” x 9” baking dish. I use a ceramic one like this Ceramic Coated Non-Stick 9-Inch Square Pan.

You can also use an 8” x 8” pan. You’ll just end up with thicker bars than the ones pictured in this post.

Thick bars just mean more of the fun treat for each person. 😂

I personally prefer these sweet treats with the thickness shown in the photo below (baked with a 9” x 9” square pan).

If you use a pan that is larger than 9” x 9”, without doubling the recipe, you’ll end up with a much thinner bar. It may also burn.

Another tip for the best fruity pebble bars - bake the dessert in a pan that is lined with parchment paper.

Before adding the first fruity pebbles mixture, line the pan with parchment paper. Pre-cut sheets, like these Reynolds Kitchens Cookie Baking Sheets, make this a little easier to do.

When lining the pan, overhang the parchment paper on two sides. You can later use the sides as handles and simply lift the delicious treat out of the pan.

Then, once completely cool, cut the treats into 1 ½ to 2-inch squares.

How to Store Fruity Pebbles Bars

Store bars in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 4 days.

The Fruity Pebbles Cereal begins to lose its crispy texture after being in the fridge for awhile. The cereal can become a little chewy after some time.

Surprisingly, we’ve eaten these Fruity Pebbles Bars after four days and they still weren’t soggy. (I needed to test it).

But, for the best flavor and texture, I recommend eating the bars within a few days of baking them.
