Captain Crunch & Froot Loop Krispie Treats

These Captain Crunch and Froot Loop Krispie treats are a festive sweet treat for any occasion that tastes as good as they look.

I was inspired to make these Krispie Treats by a fellow food blogger.

One of my favorite pictures of Krispie Treats are of Trix Krispies that are made by Kim at Cravings of a Lunatic.

The pictures of Kim’s Trix Krispies are so pretty and look downright magical.

It was such a good idea to use a colorful cereal to make Krispie Treats that I just had to make some myself.

The two colorful cereals that just happened to jump right off the shelf and into my grocery cart were Captain Crunch and Froot Loops.

About this Recipe

These Krispie Treats are delicious made into the traditional squares.

And they can also be made into Krispie Treat Pops that are dipped in candy toppings.

The directions on how to do this are below.

Fun to make and fun to eat too.

Let’s check out the ingredients.

Captain Crunch and Froot Loop Cereal, butter, marshmallows, and…

…candy sprinkles

HOW TO MAKE THIS RECIPE

A printable recipe with the measurements and instructions is located at the bottom of this post.

In a large bowl,

add both types of cereal and…

…set aside.

Next,

to a medium size microwavable glass bowl…

…add the marshmallows and…

…butter.

Heat the marshmallows and butter in the microwave just enough so that the marshmallows and butter start to melt (about 2 minutes).

Then stir the marshmallows and butter together until smooth.

Add the marshmallow mixture to the bowl of cereal and gently stir all ingredients together until the cereal is coated.

Coat a casserole dish or pan (13 x 9 x 2-inch pan) with non-stick cooking spray and then add the marshmallow and cereal mixture to it.

Use a buttered spatula, wax paper, or add water to your hands to gently press the mixture evenly into the pan.

Let cool (for at least 40 minutes).

Then cut into squares.

Serving Options:

After cutting the krispies into squares they’re ready to serve.

Here are more serving options.

Add Candy Sprinkle Toppings – for added color, top the squares with candy sprinkles; put the candy sprinkles in a small shallow bowl, lay one krispie square at a time in the candy sprinkles and press down slightly so that the candies will stick to the top.

This adds even more fun color and another layer of deliciousness to the krispie.

Making Krispie Lollipops – just after mixing the cereal with the marshmallow mixture, wet your hands and roll the cereal and marshmallow mixture into balls (about the size of a golf ball or slightly bigger).

Set the balls on parchment paper and let cool.

Then add a lollipop stick to each ball and…

…next…

…dip them into candy toppings.

And…

…enjoy.

A fun treat…

…for parties or just because.
