Trix Marshmallow Squares – like Rice Krispie Treats, but colorful & fruity! An easy no-bake dessert that kids will love!

Trix Marshmallow Treats Recipe

Today’s recipe takes the beloved simplicity and nostalgia of traditional Rice Krispie treats and infuses it with the vibrant hues and fruity flavors of Trix cereal.

The fruity flavors of Trix cereal combined with that sweet, gooey marshmallow goodness that holds it all together is a match made in dessert heaven. The perfect balance of chewiness from the marshmallows and crunchiness from the cereal is a delightful contrast that is so incredibly satisfying.

Trix Krispie Treats are perfect for kids’ birthday parties, school bake sales, or anytime you want to add a pop of color and a touch of whimsy to your day. I surprised my daughter with one of these Trix Krispie treats in her lunchbox and she was over the moon excited!

I think they’d also be perfect for an Pixar’s UP!-themed party or movie night because the little colorful balls of cereal kind of resemble the balloons that lifted the house up into the air – and of course, they’d make a great rainbow-themed treat for St. Patrick’s Day!

• Casserole Dish (we used a 9-inch square baking dish)
• Microwave-Safe Mixing Bowl
• Silicone Spatula for Mixing

Instructions

To Prep: Grease a 9″ x 9″ baking pan and set aside.

Place marshmallows and butter in a large microwave-safe bowl and heat for 30 seconds. Stir and reheated as needed until completely melted and smooth.

Stir the Trix cereal into the melted marshmallow mixture until you reach your desired marshmallow to cereal ratio.

Fold the mixture into the prepared baking pan and press down to set.

Refrigerate two hours before cutting into squares and serving.

Prep Tips

• Garnish & Toppings – For an even more decadent dessert, drizzle melted chocolate or candy melts over the treats before allowing to set.
• Storage – Store the treats in an airtight container at room temperature, using parchment paper or wax paper in between layers to prevent the squares from sticking to each other. They will stay fresh for up to 3-4 days. However, for the best taste and texture, it’s recommended to enjoy them within the first 2 days of making them.
