Holiday Truffles with Pebbles Cereal

Disclosure: This is a sponsored post written by me on behalf of Post Fruity and Cocoa Pebbles. As always, all opinions are mine alone.

Holiday Truffles with Post Fruity and Cocoa Pebbles | Mama Harris' KitchenThere’s one thing my kids could eat morning, noon and night if I let them. Cereal.

They just can’t get enough of it. My babiest will continue to pour more cereal into his milk if I don’t keep a close eye on it, and if dinner isn’t ready early enough he’ll beg for a bowl of cereal instead.

Needless to say that we always have plenty of cereal in our house. What can I say, they get it from their Daddy.
Holiday Truffles with Post Fruity and Cocoa Pebbles | Mama Harris' KitchenSince there’s always cereal stocked in our pantry, sometimes I’ll look at a few of the boxes and get a bit inspired for some recipes. What can I say, I find inspiration everywhere! Staring at our boxes of Fruity Pebbles and Cocoa Pebbles I was inspired to create something for the fun holiday season. Since it involved cereal I knew the little ones would want to help!

I got the idea to create a little truffle with the cereals. Mix with a bit of marshmallow and butter and adding some coconut to the cereal mixture, then dipping the Fruity Pebbles into white chocolate and the Chocolate Pebbles in milk chocolate. Oh, and then we add sprinkles! That’s the funnest part!
Holiday Truffles with Post Fruity and Cocoa Pebbles | Mama Harris' KitchenFor a real truffle appearance, they were served in mini cupcake liners that were just the perfect size for these fun little treats. We used a variety of different holiday themed sprinkles and each of us had our favorites as far as which flavor we liked. I prefer the white chocolate with the Fruity Pebbles but Mr. Harris preferred the double chocolate flavor to the Cocoa Pebbles covered in milk chocolate. I couldn’t decide on a favorite for the sprinkles, but I think I really liked how the gold and silver looked.

I really like how they both looked and they definitely would add some fun to the dessert table at your next holiday event. These would also be fun to make at a party to keep little ones busy. They’re just the right amount of textures and mess that kids will just love!
