Fruit Loop Treats: A Colorful Twist on a Classic Snack
When life gives you Fruit Loops, make treats! These delightful bars take the beloved Rice Krispies treat to a whole new level. With only three ingredients and a handful of steps, you'll have a snack that’s as easy to make as it is fun to eat. Let's dive into the colorful world of Fruit Loop Treats and discover why they deserve a special place on your dessert table.
Making the Magic Happen: Ingredients Simplified
To whip up these magical treats, you only need Fruit Loops cereal, marshmallows, and butter. If for some reason Fruit Loops aren't your thing (what’s wrong with you?), feel free to substitute them with your favorites—Apple Jacks and Golden Grahams also do a mighty fine job at bringing sweetness and crunch to the party!
So, grab that butter (because not using it would be a bit ‘buttery’), measure out a whopping 7 cups of Fruit Loops, and get ready to melt some marshmallows. You might say it’s marshmallow madness over here! Plus, the best part? This step takes a total of about five minutes—perfect for those emergency snack situations. Because when hunger pangs hit, we must respond swiftly, like a superhero—but with marshmallows!
Melting Marshmallows and Childhood Memories
There’s something almost cathartic about melting marshmallows and butter together. It’s reminiscent of childhood days when everything felt simpler, right? You throw some marshmallows in a pot, watch them transform, and within no time, you’ve got a sticky mixture that can lead to all sorts of deliciousness.
As the sweet aroma fills your kitchen, take a moment to reminisce about those days when everything felt underscored by cartoon-themed cereal ads. Then, as the mixture becomes smooth, throw 7 cups of Fruit Loops into your melting pot of nostalgia. Stir well, homies; we want every bit of cereal coated! This childhood classic just keeps getting better!
Spread It Like Peanut Butter: The Distribution Phase
Once the cereal is evenly mixed, pour it onto a lined 9x13 sheet pan. Now comes the magic moment: you get to spread your colorful mass of joy into an even layer. Pro tip: if you find that the sticky mixture is trying to own your hands, slightly wet or oil your hands beforehand. It’s like a spell against cereal stickiness—super effective!
If you’re feeling particularly fancy, you can add sprinkles or even drizzle some melted chocolate on top. Yup, chocolate makes everything better—just like a good Friday fish fry in Wisconsin!
Storage: How to Keep the Flavor Fresh
Storing your Fruit Loop treats can be tricky; they might vanish faster than a bratwurst on a summer grill. Place them in an airtight container or a Ziplock bag at room temperature. You don’t want them getting stale, but believe me, they won’t last that long! But should you find a way to have leftovers, they’re best eaten within a week. After all, no one wants a snack that’s gone rogue!

These Fruit Loop treats are perfect for every gathering, whether it’s a cozy movie night or a boisterous game day with Wisconsin craft beers involved. What better way to bring smiles to friends and loved ones than with a colorful, sweet treat that doesn’t require hours of labor in the kitchen?
Plus, they pair famously with everything from Wisconsin cheese curds to a tall glass of New Glarus Spotted Cow. So next time you’re in a snack rut, make these treats and watch the smiles spread around your table like hot butter on corn on the cob—especially during the summer when the corn is fresh and sweet!
So what are you waiting for? Gather your ingredients and get cracking on these Fruit Loop Treasures! Because a cheerful snack can turn an ordinary day into an extraordinary one. And honestly, life is too short not to eat treats that are this fun!
