Ingredients

(Here’s a tip: Check out the full list of ingredients and measurements in the recipe card below.)

3 cups marshmallows
2 tbsp butter
2 cups crispy rice cereal
½ cup Fruity Pebbles cereal
4 oz cream cheese, softened
2 tbsp powdered sugar
1 tsp vanilla extract
1 large fruit roll-up
½ cup Fruity Pebbles (for coating)

Directions

I melt the butter and marshmallows together in a large saucepan over low heat, stirring until smooth.
I remove the pan from the heat and stir in the crispy rice cereal and ½ cup Fruity Pebbles until fully coated.
I spread the mixture onto a sheet of parchment paper and gently press it into a thin rectangle (about ¼ inch thick).
In a small bowl, I mix the cream cheese, powdered sugar, and vanilla extract until smooth.
I spread the cream cheese mixture evenly over the cooled cereal layer.
I place the fruit roll-up on top, trimming if needed to fit.
Using the parchment paper to help, I roll the cereal mixture tightly into a log.
I sprinkle the remaining Fruity Pebbles on a plate and roll the log in them to coat.
I chill the roll for about 20–30 minutes, then slice it into bite-sized “sushi” pieces.

Servings and timing

This recipe makes about 12–14 sushi bites. Prep time is about 15 minutes, plus 20–30 minutes of chilling.

Variations

I sometimes use flavored cream cheese (like strawberry) for a fruity twist.
For a more chocolatey version, I swap crispy rice cereal for cocoa rice cereal and use chocolate hazelnut spread instead of cream cheese.
I’ve also added sliced strawberries or banana inside before rolling for a fresh element.

Storage/Reheating

I store these sushi bites in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 3 days. They’re best enjoyed chilled. Freezing is not recommended since the cereal can lose its crunch.

FAQs

Can I make this ahead of time?

Yes, I often make the roll the night before and slice it just before serving to keep it fresh.

Can I skip the fruit roll-up?

Yes, but I love the extra fruity flavor and bright color it adds. Without it, the sushi still holds together.

How do I keep the marshmallow layer from sticking?

I lightly butter my hands or spatula before pressing out the cereal mixture—it makes shaping much easier.

Can I make it dairy-free?

Yes, I use dairy-free butter and cream cheese alternatives for a fully dairy-free treat.

What’s the best way to slice the sushi?

I use a sharp knife and wipe it clean between cuts to keep the slices neat.

Conclusion

Fruity Pebbles sushi is a colorful, fun, and delicious no-bake treat that’s perfect for parties, snacks, or just brightening someone’s day. With its sweet marshmallow base, creamy filling, and crunchy topping, it’s a playful dessert that always gets a big reaction.
