FAQs

Can I use other cereals instead of Fruity Pebbles?

Yes, you can substitute with other rice or puffed cereals to change the flavor and texture, but Fruity Pebbles provide a unique fruity taste and vibrant color.

How do I prevent the treats from sticking to the pan?

Make sure to generously grease the pan with butter or non-stick spray before pressing the mixture in. You can also lightly grease your spatula or hands when pressing for easier shaping.
