Fruit Loops Cereal Bars

Fruit Loop Cereal Bars are seriously one of the most delicious things you will ever eat in your life! If they weren’t already a breakfast cereal I would assume they were made exclusively as a dessert snack.

How to Make Fruit Loops Cereal Bars

If you’re getting tired of the original Rice Krispie Treats, you may want to try something a little bit different. Queue Fruit Loops Cereal Bars. They add a delicious fruit flavor to an already great classic. In fact, Fruit Loops can make any number of interesting desserts like these Fruit Loop Sugar Cookies.

These cereal bars are great for a last minuter snack for an unexpected party or if you just want to have a lazy weekend. They take the same amount of time to make as original and just as tasty.

Step One

The first step in the process is to melt your butter. Take 4 tablespoons of butter and place them in a large stock pot. Place your pot on your stove top and set the heat for medium. You can use your spatula to move the butter around the pan. I honestly can’t tell you if it makes it melt faster but it makes me feel like it does.

Once your butter has melted, grab your bag of marshmallows and dump the whole thing into the pot. Use a spatula to turn the marshmallows over to get coated in the butter. Continue stirring until the marshmallows have completely melted and you have a nice gooey butter/marshmallow mix.

If you want to speed up the process a little you can also melt you butter and marshmallows at the same time in the microwave. Don’t overheat the marshmallows as they will stiffen and become hard to mix later.

Step Two

Remove your marshmallows from the stove top and get your Fruit Loops ready. Pour 6 cups of cereal into the marshmallows. You can stir while pouring to get a thorough mix. It can help to coat your spatula in butter first to keep everything from sticking too much.

Continue stirring until your Fruit Loops and marshmallows are completely mixed together.

Step Three

If you have not already greased your spatula, you should definitely do it now. Once the marshmallows and cereal are mixed, they become much stickier and harder to work with. You will also want to grease your 9×13 brownie pan at this time.

Using your spatula (sometimes we use an additional spatula or large spoon), start scooping your cereal mix into the pre-greased pan. Once everything is moved into the pan, pat it down with your spatula until you have an even flat surface and the entire pan is full.

Step Four

Now, leave your treats to sit for a while. You can also stick them in the fridge for a few minutes to speed up the process (or the freezer if you’re impatient like me). If you don’t allow them time to cool, they are difficult to cut and make a big mess.

Once your treats have cooled down, take a sharp knife and cute into even squares. You should get about 16 squares from a 9×13 brownie pan.

Serve and enjoy!
