I enjoy finding recipes for food that have a not so common ingredient. In this case I was given the ingredient of Post Fruity Pebbles cereal. Sure you can have a bowl of cereal but what else can you do with it? My first thought was the Fruity Pebbles treats (similar to rice krispy treats) but that's been done a lot. I wanted to stick with a dessert so I thought about the sweet treats that my boys and I enjoy. Then my recipe ideas were cookies, ice cream pie, cupcakes or a cake. We probably couldn't have gone wrong with any of those but I decided to make Fruity Pebbles pudding cookies and took it a bit sweeter and made Fruity Pebbles sandwich cookies with Fruity Pebbles buttercream icing.
Fruity Pebbles Cookies recipe
After making the Fruity Pebbles cookies we tried them and thought the cookies were fantastic on their own. This one recipe would be a crowd pleaser by its self. You could also use the Post Cocoa Pebbles with the chocolate chips to make a more chocolatey flavor in place of the fruity and chocolate flavor of these cookies. If you want the extreme sweet treat then you'll want to make the Fruity Pebbles pudding cookies and then whip up a batch of the Fruity Pebbles buttercream icing to make the sandwiches like I did. Yum!
- 1 & ½ sticks butter
- 1 cup granulated sugar

Now if you are after the mega sweetness of the Fruity Pebbles cookie sandwich with the icing then you'll need this simple icing recipe to smother between two of the Fruity Pebbles cookies you make from the recipe above.
