I love Rice Krispie treats — like, I would eat them by the dozen if I could. That crispy, sweet, marshmallow-y chew is basically my comfort dessert.
I always make Rice Krispie bars for parties or family get-togethers because most people — especially kids — will always eat them, no matter what else is on the table.
But when I came across the Eagle Brand Milk & Cereal Bars recipe, I realized there’s a delicious twist that makes these even more fun — and that twist is Fruity Pebbles cereal.
The Fruity Pebbles honestly took this recipe from “oh yeah, that’s good” to “okay, this is dangerous — hide the pan from me.”
The colors are so fun, the texture is perfect, and the condensed milk adds this smooth richness that I didn’t even realize cereal bars were missing.
These are definitely going into my rotation for:
- birthday parties
- school snacks
- bake sales
- movie nights
- holidays
- random Tuesdays when I want something sweet
They’re one of those treats you make “just to try them” and immediately know you’ll be making again.
Why These Cereal Bars Are So Good
If you’ve never made cereal bars with sweetened condensed milk before, you’re in for a treat. The Eagle Brand version is gooey in the best way — but not messy-soft. They hold together so nicely.
Here’s what makes them special:
✔Two cereals = twice the fun
The crispy rice cereal gives you that classic “krispie treat” texture.
The Fruity Pebbles add color and fruity flavor, and honestly just make the whole thing taste happier.
✔ Sweetened condensed milk makes these richer
It melts with the marshmallows and white chocolate into this smooth, creamy coating that gives the bars a soft, luscious bite.
✔ No baking
Bless the person who invented no-bake desserts. This whole recipe happens in one pot and one bowl.
✔ They look adorable
Kids love them. Adults love them. And they 100% brighten any dessert table.
