Are you looking for a ridiculously fast Christmas dessert? Easy Fruity Pebble Christmas Trees are exactly what you are looking for!
They are one of our kid’s favorite Christmas treats.
Fruity pebble Christmas trees are so easy to make.
I don’t know about you, but by the time Christmas Eve rolls around, I’m looking for super easy ways to do everything.
The holiday season feels like a whirlwind of things to do.
There gifts to buy, cookies to bake, gifts to wrap, holiday guests to prepare for, keeping the kids entertained, and in our area usually a blizzard or two right around Christmas week.
So Christmas can feel super stressful. One way I make it easier is by making simple desserts for Christmas that I know our kids will love.
If your kids Like rice crispy treats they will love these fruity pebble Christmas trees.
The trees are made with a mix of rice crispies, fruity pebbles, and marshmallows.
You can make them with all fruity pebbles if that’s what you have or you can even make them with just rice crispies if you have those on hand.
I found that making them with just the fruity pebbles which is the way we used to do them is way too sweet.
Making them with half fruity pebbles and half rice crispies makes it a dessert that even our adult guests love.
You can decorate them if you have time but if you don’t they are still a simple and easy Christmas dessert.
I cut this into Christmas trees, But you could cut them into any shape you want or even just cut them into squares.
The whole point of this dessert is that it’s fast and simple.
It’s an awesome last-minute dessert that you can make in about 15 minutes.
