Variation on Mom's Pudding Fruit Salad

I was out of both vanilla and lemon pudding yesterday to make Mom's pudding fruit salad, so we used pistachio pudding instead. (We got the suggestion from a dinner group friend awhile ago.) It was yummy too and the coconut looked a little like Easter grass.

Rice Krispie Treats: Fruity Variation

THis isn't relaly a recipe, but directions for a tasty adaptation of the traditional Rice Krispie treats. Warning: Eating too many will result in a tummy-ache, and they are addictive (I speak from experience here.)

Use your favorite Rice Krispie treat recipe with the following substitutions:

Instead of regular marshmallows, use the strawberry flavored ones.
(I didn't have strawberry ones, so I just used the regular ones)
Instead of regular Rice Krispies, use Fruity Pebbles.

After you have stirred the marshmallows and krispies together and the marshmallows are mostly melted, add some of the little fruit-flavored marshmallows. (I just added a couple of handfuls or until it looked like a good amount.) You don't really want these marshmallows to melt, but they add another gooey, fruity dimension to the treats.

Good luck and enjoy!
