Fruity Pebbles Blondies
Equipment
- 1 8x8 baking dish
Ingredients
- ½ cup butter
- ½ cup granulated sugar
- ½ cup brown sugar
- 2 eggs room temperature
- 1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract
- 1 ⅓ cups all-purpose flour
- ¼ teaspoon salt
- 2 cups Fruity Pebbles Cereal
- ½ cup white chocolate chips
- ½ cup mini marshmallows
- ⅓ cup white chocolate melted
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 350 degrees. Line an 8x8-inch baking pan with parchment paper, leaving a slight overhang for easy removal. Lightly grease the parchment.
- Melt the butter in a microwave-safe bowl or saucepan until just melted. Let it cool slightly.
- In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the melted butter, granulated sugar, brown sugar and vanilla extract until smooth and combined.
- Add the eggs one at a time, mixing well after each addition.
- Fold in the flour and salt until just combined. Avoid overmixing to keep the blondies soft.
- Gently fold in the Fruity Pebbles cereal, white chocolate chips, and mini marshmallows until evenly distributed throughout the batter.
- Spread the batter evenly into the prepared baking pan. Use a spatula to smooth the top.
- Bake for 25-30 minutes, or until the edges are golden and a toothpick inserted near the center comes out with just a few moist crumbs.
- Allow the blondies to cool completely in the pan. Once cool, lift them out using the parchment paper.
- Drizzle the melted white chocolate over the top. Let it set before slicing into squares.

You can, but it adds a creamy sweetness and helps balance the tart crunch of the cereal. You can also use colored candy melts for a festive twist.
Deb's top tips
Toast the cereal (optional): For a boost of nutty, caramel-like flavor and extra crunch, toast the Fruity Pebbles on a baking sheet at 300°F for 5-7 minutes before mixing them into the batter. Let them cool first!
