Looking for an easy no bake dessert that’s a crowd pleaser? These Rainbow Krispie Treats are a hit with kids and grownups. Perfect for an after school snack, potluck, or mailing in care packages. The idea for this recipe came when I was looking for homemade treats that would hold up well for mailing long distance. My kids have always loved any form of Rice Krispie Treats and they loved how colorful these were. I played around with combining different portions of Rice Krispies and Fruity Pebbles to give the treats some color, but not be too sweet. Depending on how chewy or sweet you like yours, adjust accordingly. Consider making a double batch. They go quickly and grownups have been known to sneak a few off the kids table at Easter. My little bunnies are all grown up, but still love these treats! In fact, one of the first college care packages I sent to my daughter, included a batch of Rainbow Krispie Treats.

Zabelicious Tips:

• If you like your Krispie treats softer, chewy and sweet, stick with these measurements. if you prefer them less sweet, add less Fruity Pebbles and little more Rice Krispies

• For a healthier option, try cereals with less sugar, two brands that offer similar flavors, such as: Nature’s Path Crispy Rice Cereal and Cascadian Farms Fruity Crispy Rice Cereal.
