What You’ll Need

Here are the ingredients you’ll need to make Fruity Pebbles Bars at home. See the recipe card located at the bottom of the post for full details.

• Butter– I use salted butter for my recipes. Unsalted works too.
• Granulated Sugar– This fine white sugar sweetens the cookie bars.
• Brown Sugar– I use light brown sugar for the recipe.
• Eggs– Use large eggs for consistency.
• Vanilla– Use pure vanilla extract for best tasting results.
• All-Purpose Flour– Flour is the main dry ingredient of the recipe.
• Instant Vanilla Pudding Mix– The pudding mix adds a nice texture to the bars.
• Baking Soda– Baking soda helps the cookies rise during baking.
• Salt– I use kosher salt in my recipes.
• Fruity Pebbles Cereal– Fruity Pebbles are added to the cookie bars.

How To Make Fruity Pebbles Cookie Bars

Preheat Oven and Prepare Baking Dish. Preheat oven to 350 degrees F. and line a 9×13-inch baking dish with parchment paper.

Cream Butter and Sugars. Place butter and sugars into a large mixing bowl. Beat until well combined. 

Eggs and Vanilla. Add eggs and vanilla, beating until well combined.

Dry Ingredients. Add flour, salt, baking soda, pudding mix and Fruity Pebbles cereal, mix carefully until dough forms. Don’t overmix.

Transfer Dough To Baking Dish. Transfer dough to prepared baking dish and spread evenly. 

Bake. Bake for 30-35 minutes, until golden and baked through. Let cool completely. Use parchment paper sides to pull out bars. Place onto a cutting board and cut into squares.

Cut Into Squares and Add Icing. Once baked and cooled completely, cut edges off if desired and cut into squares like I’ve done here. By cutting edges off, you get nice uniform squares. Whisk together the powdered sugar and heavy cream until thick and smooth. Drizzle over cookie bars and sprinkle more Fruity Pebbles over Icing.

Can I Make Cookies Instead of Cookie Bars?

You sure can! If you would rather have cookies instead of bars, just scoop your dough onto a parchment lined baking sheet. Place each dough mound 1 inch apart. Bake for 12 minutes, until golden.

Can I Use Other Cereals For These Cookie Bars?

If you decide to use another cereal, I’d pick something similar in size. Please note, I have only tested this exact recipe of mine with Fruity Pebbles.
