No Bake Fruity Pebbles Granola Bars are the perfect fun and chewy treat that kids of all ages love. Great no bake treat to make for a quick and easy after school snack.
We love keeping granola bars on hand for a quick and easy treat any time of day. I have been making these No Bake M&M Granola Bars for a while now. I love how easy they are to put together.
When I was at the store getting the ingredients for another batch of no bake bars, I happened to see Fruity Pebbles on sale and decided to substitute those for the rice cereal that I usually use.
It was a fun and fruity twist to the granola bars. They are so fun and colorful and have that classic Fruity Pebbles taste to them.
My favorite part of these bars...they are no bake. That means I can have a pan of homemade granola bars done in under 10 minutes.
Then all you have to do is wait for it to set up. A quick trick is to throw the pan in the freezer for about 10 minutes, and then you can cut them into bars. My kids had no problem munching on these after school and for breakfast the next day.
Other easy after school snacks:
- Congo Bars
- Homemade Oatmeal Cream Pies
- Strawberry Granola Bars
- Peanut Butter and Jelly Crumb Bars
- Chocolate Chip Cookies and Cream Cookies
- Thin Mint Granola Bars

I love how you made these into granola bars instead of the traditional rice krispy treat! So great!
Jocelyn Brubaker
Thanks Nancy! I wanted these to be a little different from krispie treats!!!
Megan @ megbakes
I love all the colors and the fact these don't call for marshmallows - an ingredient I don't always have on hand.
Jocelyn Brubaker
This is such an easy recipe and yes, no marshmallows for these.
Dorothy @ Crazy for Crust
Ha! I clicked through from Frugal Girls and as I was clicking I was all "I bet that's Jocelyn" and it was! I love Fruity Pebbles!!!! SO much. I'd eat all these granola bars and not share.
Jocelyn Brubaker

i've seen those store bought cereal bars in the breakfast aisle before, but never got them because they were packed with chemicals and preservatives. this is so much better, i love doing things homemade, and they look so good!
Jocelyn Brubaker
These are definitely much better than the store bought versions. I like doing homemade bars just so I know what all goes into them too!!!
ashley - baker by nature
Fruity pebbles! Yes. I must buy a box to-night.
Jocelyn Brubaker
I'd buy 2 while you are at it 🙂
Hayley @ The Domestic Rebel
Obsessing over these! I heart Fruity Pebbles and with the weather creeping up all hot on us already, I am loving anything no-bake! These look SO delicious.
Gloria @ Simply Gloria
I have to agree, Hayley...these kind of treats are perfect for the season coming (not soon enough, though). and they're so colorful with the fruity pebbles!
Jocelyn Brubaker
I sure hope that hot weather is creeping up on us! I love no bake treats so much too!!!
Ari @ Ari's Menu
Fruity Pebbles!!! You're totally taking me back to my childhood! They were always one of my favorites, and I would LOVE an excuse to eat them as a grown up 😉
Jocelyn Brubaker
I suggest buying a box of Fruity Pebbles asap! Then you can enjoy another bowlful and have these bars 🙂
Jess @ On Sugar Mountain
Jocelyn these are adorable! I feel like I say that every time I comment lol but I mean it - fruity pebbles are fantastic and no bake (especially as it gets warmer out) is perfect 😀
Jocelyn Brubaker
I love a good no bake treat for days when it is too hot to bake!
Karly
So, these are totally healthy since they have oats in them, right? I can eat the whole pan? Good.
Jocelyn Brubaker
Totally healthy...wink, wink!!! I'll join you in eating a panful too though 🙂
