Ingredients
For the Base:
- All-purpose flour
- Granulated sugar

For the Frosting:
- Unsalted butter
- Vanilla extract
- Fruity Pebbles cereal
Instructions
- Make Base – In a medium saucepan, whisk together flour and milk until smooth. Cook over medium heat, stirring constantly, until mixture thickens to a paste-like consistency, about 5-7 minutes. Remove from heat and let cool completely.
- Cream Butter – In a large bowl, cream softened butter and granulated sugar together using an electric mixer until light and fluffy, about 3-4 minutes. Add vanilla extract and mix until combined.
- Combine Base – Add the cooled flour mixture to the butter mixture and beat on high speed for 3-5 minutes until the frosting becomes light, fluffy, and completely smooth with no lumps.
- Add Cereal – Gently fold in the Fruity Pebbles cereal using a spatula, being careful not to crush the pieces. Mix just until evenly distributed throughout the frosting.
- Frost Cupcakes – Transfer frosting to a piping bag fitted with your desired tip and pipe onto cooled cupcakes. Sprinkle additional Fruity Pebbles on top for extra color and crunch.
