9 Recipes That Prove Fruity Pebbles Are Better Without Milk

This article is written by a student writer from the Spoon University at TCU chapter.

My Sunday mornings as a child were always set aside for cartoons and big bowls of Fruity Pebbles. With their bright colors and sugary flavor, they were the best cereal to eat as a kid.

Growing up should be postponed for as long as possible, so here are nine recipes to incorporate oh-so-colorful Fruity Pebbles into. Say goodbye to simple bowls of cereal and milk, Fruity Pebbles are ready for anything. 

1. Fruity Pebbles Pancakes

Cereal and pancakes are two of the best breakfasts around, so why not combine them to make some killer pebble pancakes? Don’t forget the fruity pebble frosting, it’s insanely necessary.

2. Fruity Pebbles Ice Cream Sandwiches

5. Sweet and Salty Fruity Pebbles Covered Pretzels 

Just because Fruity Pebbles might be one of the sweetest cereals on the market doesn’t mean you can’t satisfy that salty craving. Dip your favorite pretzel in some chocolate and Fruity Pebbles, and voila.

6. Fruity Pebbles Chicken and Waffles

7. Fruity Pebbles Cookies

Basically a funfetti cookie, but with a satisfying crunch from the cereal throughout. These Fruity Pebbles cookies are easy to make, will definitely appeal to kids, and are better then the Oreo version.  

8. Fruity Pebbles Breakfast Popsicles 

Finally, something that is somewhat healthy and not dessert. These breakfast popsicles are made with fruity pebbles, Greek yogurt, and milk, and are perfect for on-the-go mornings.

Oh Buzzfeed and your wonderful, outlandish ideas. These boozy Fruity Pebbles milkshakes are awesome for those nostalgic nights with friends and taste like heaven. Not to mention these are awesome for those of us who don’t love chocolate. 

Now that you know cereal doesn’t have to be so basic, go out, grab the necessities, and get started.
