These beautiful rainbow Fruit Loop Treats are a fun spin on the traditional Rice Krispy Treats recipe. With school back in session, mornings are rushed and it’s often hard to squeeze in all the hugs and kisses you want to give your kids before they head off to school. But if you can, take a minute or two and write a sweet little note to pack in their lunch bags. When they read your note at school they’ll feel so special and loved. Along with your note, these delightful Fruit Loop Treats are the perfect way to say “I love you. I hope you’re having a fantastic day!”

When it comes to sharing my favorite recipes, you might have noticed that I’m all about preparing food that’s happy and festive. When I make baked goods and yummy rainbow Fruit Loop Treats, I love to do something that will make them sparkle and shine. These lovely rainbow fruit loop treats received a huge smile from my husband when he got home from work. They’re displayed on the kitchen counter on a cake stand covered with a tall glass dome. He’s looking forward to enjoying a rainbow Fruit Loop Treat – probably two – for breakfast tomorrow. My daughter Ashley just popped by and picked one up as she headed off to study for her law school classes.

I love that Ashley, now 25 years old, purchased a home just around the corner from us. The backyards of our 1/3 acre lots are so long that they actually connect along a common fence. At Ashley’s request my husband installed a gate to connect our two properties. But let’s head on back to this yummy recipe! If you’re ready to whip up a batch of rainbow Fruit Loop Treats for your family, these are all the ingredients you’ll need: Butter, mini white marshmallows, vanilla, salt, Fruit Loops cereal, mini rainbow marshmallows, a bar of white baking chocolate, and beautiful rainbow sprinkles.

Here’s how to make rainbow Fruit Loop Treats: Start by generously buttering the bottom and sides of a large rectangular baking dish. Butter two silicone spatulas and put them aside. (Go ahead and leave the butter out. In a few minutes you may want to butter up your hands when handling this Rice Krispy Treats spin-off.) In a large pot, melt the butter over medium heat. Add in vanilla and salt. Stir briefly to incorporate.

Add the mini white marshmallows to the pot and stir until all the marshmallows have melted. Keep the pot on the burner, but turn off the heat. Just like when making traditional Rice Krispy Treats, during the next few steps you’ll need to act quickly to avoid a big sticky mess!

Add the Fruit Loops cereal to the pot. Fold the Fruit Loops into the marshmallow mixture. The texture will be very sticky. As you lift your spatula it will look like the Fruit Loops are covered in cobwebs.

Quickly add the mini rainbow marshmallows to the mixture and fold them in. Like a bolt of lightening, use one of the pre-buttered spatulas to quickly transfer the mixture to the buttered baking dish. Start pressing down firmly with your spatula. Pack the rainbow Fruit Loop Treats into an even compacted layer.

If needed, add a bit of butter or cooking spray to your hands to prevent them from getting overly sticky. Making rainbow Fruit Loop treats is a messy but delicious process! Allow these unique Rice Krispy Treats to sit on your countertop in the baking dish so they can cool down and firm up. If there’s room in your freezer, you can stick them in there for about 15 minutes to speed things up!

With a sharp buttered knife, slice the treats into 8 even squares. Transfer the rainbow Fruit Loop Treats to a cooling rack. Place the cooling rack on top of a large baking sheet. When you drizzle white chocolate over the squares and sprinkle them with candy sprinkles, the mess will stay contained within the baking sheet.

Pull out a container of rainbow sprinkles. Just for now, set it aside.

Now it’s time to melt the chocolate. There are several different methods for melting white chocolate. So feel free to melt the white chocolate bar according to your own personal preference. I melted mine in the microwave. I started by snapping the bar of white chocolate into several small pieces. I placed the pieces in a microwave-safe dish and microwaved the chocolate on high for 30 seconds. I stirred the chocolate with a thin spatula then microwaved it for another 30 seconds. I stirred the chocolate again and found that there were still a few small lumps. So I microwaved the chocolate a bit more – in two 10-second increments, stirring after each – until the chocolate was fully melted and smooth.

Transfer the melted white chocolate to a quart-size Ziplock freezer bag. Snip a very small hole in one of the corners of the Ziplock. Squeeze the baggie over the rainbow Fruit Loop Treats in a zig-zag pattern. Just like sprinkling confetti, sprinkle the squares with the rainbow candy.

Ahhh…just look at these happy festive snacks! Aren’t they the cutest little things you ever did see?

Here’s a close-up view of these scrumptious rainbow Fruit Loop Treats. I wish I could reach through my screen and hand one to you. I just now stopped to take a bite of one. Mmmm…the flavor and consistency is heavenly!

When serving rainbow Fruit Loop Treats at parties or with other desserts, cut the 8 squares in half so you’ll have 16 portions. It’ll make this yummy recipe stretch a lot farther! This Rice Krispy Treat spin-off is perfect for after-school snacks, for kid’s athletic teams, Girl Scouts, Boy Scouts and picnics. And while you’re making one batch of these beauties, you might as well make two!
