<\/figure><\/div>\n\n\nUnlike a traditional marshmallow treat, that is made using small crisp rice cereal, these treats made using Froot Loops have much fewer cereal pieces to blend with the marshmallows, so you really see the gooey marshmallows when you look at these bars.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The bright colors poke through the glossy white strands of marshmallow but the bars do appear to be really, seriously coated in marshmallow, and they are!<\/p>\n\n\n\n
These are probably the gooiest treats I have made so far.<\/p>\n\n\n

These bars are so brightly colored that they would make a great dessert for a Birthday Party, St. Patrick's Day, or Easter. They are so easy to make though that they also make a perfect after school treat.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
