Fun, colourful and delicious Funfetti Rice Krispie treats that are vegan-friendly and naturally gluten-free too!
My brain keeps wanting to call these “Birthday Cake” Rice Krispie treats, since I associate funfetti so strongly with that.
But in any case, these are so tasty and fun to make too.
Funfetti Vegan Rice Krispie Treats
Yield:
16 squares
Prep Time:
15 minutes
Total Time:
15 minutes
Cute and delicious treats made with vegan marshmallows and rice krispies!
Ingredients
- 4 tbsp coconut oil
- 150 g vegan marshmallows, I used 2 bags of vanilla Freedom Mallows
- 80 ml / ⅓ cup light agave nectar
- 1 tbsp vanilla extract
- 170 g / 6 cups rice krispies
- Approximately 5 tbsp vegan-friendly sprinkles
Instructions
- Line a 9x9 inch pan with greaseproof paper.
- In a large saucepan, melt the coconut oil with the marshmallows and agave. Bring to a boil then turn the heat down low and stir for a minute so everything becomes thick and gloopy!
- Remove from the heat, stir in the vanilla and then the rice krispies and sprinkles. Mix until the rice krispies are completely coated.
- Transfer to the baking pan and press down firmly.
- Leave to set for an hour (or speed things up by placing in the fridge for 30 minutes) then cut into squares.
- Keep in an air-tight tin at room temperature for up to 5 days. Enjoy!

Hello ^-^ Do they taste very similar to original rice krispie squares by kellogs?
Donna says
What could I use instead of coconut oil? Or can it just be left out?
Aimee says
Hi Donna, you could use some kind of oil or “buttery” spread. I haven’t tested it without so let me know how it turns out if you try it!
Donna says
I will do :)

These are adorable! I know they aren’t exactly sophisticated, but rice krispie treats are still one of my all time favorite treats! And sprinkles make all things better :)
Aimee says
Me too! Can’t beat rice krispie treats.
Sophia @Veggies Don't Bite says

Hauke Fox says
Oh dear, rice krispies! That brings back childhood memories (incl. a month long revival in my mid twenties) haha.
Love the look of these treats!!

Oh I know failures in the kitchen all too well! But that’s how we learn and grow. Nobody is born a great cook, it is learned :) And these look perfect and delicious….rice krispie treats are one of my favorite indulgent treats! Love the sprinkles too!
Aimee says
Thanks Brandi!
Ceara @ Ceara's Kitchen says
These are SO incredibly bright and fun!! Reminds me of my childhood snacks – love it!! Gorgeous photos!
Aimee says
Thank you Ceara :-) They’re so nostalgic for me too!
dixya @ food, pleasure, and health says
i have tried to make them sans the marshmallow but have not been successful. looking at these, I’m tempted to give it a try soon!
Aimee says
nut butters work really great but sometimes you don’t want a nutty taste!
Natalie Freed says
I’ve only ever microwaved the marshmallows. I like the idea of melting them with the coconut oil. I wasn’t sure how melting would work. Thanks for trying it out for me first!
Aimee says
They don’t really melt easily but once you mix everything in together, it all turns out!
Uma Srinivas says
My kids love rice krispie! but I don’t know how to make. Now I got the recipe. Looks so pretty!
Aimee says
Thanks Uma!
Alisa @ Go Dairy Free says
Yum! These look like sweet perfection. And I’d never heard of that brand of marshmallows – good to know.
Aimee says
Thanks Alisa :-) It was tricky not to eat the marshmallows before using them in the recipe!
Jenn says
Oh, these are so cute!! Love those pretty sprinkles!
Aimee says
Thanks Jenn :D
Hedi says
My Sofia will love making these, beautiful Aimee!
Aimee says
Thanks love! x
Mel @ avirtualvegan.com says
Out of failure comes a success! They look great and the sprinkles make them look so pretty! My son would love them…minus the sprinkles as they are too girly!
Aimee says
Haha I think boys secretly love the sprinkles too ;-)
Erin says
Recipe fails happen to me more than I would like to admit! We all have our flops, right?! But goodness Aimee these turned out to be so lovely!!
Aimee says
Oh god yeah, I don’t think readers realise how many failures happen before I get a recipe on the blog! But it’s so satisying when they finally work out :-)
Patricia @ Grab a Plate says
How funny – I do the same thing – mostly with my car. Like, “Gosh I’m sorry you’re so dirty and I haven’t washed you!” But these treats are enough to take my mind off my dirty car! So cute & festive!
Aimee says
Thanks Patricia :D
Linda @ Veganosity says
Haha! I just posted about a failed recipe today. What doesn’t kill us makes us stronger, right? :)
Your Rice Krispie treats look so good. I like aquafaba for many things, but I can see why you ditched it in this recipe.
Aimee says
Amen! Thanks Linda :-)
Lucie @WIN-WIN FOOD says
These are gorgeous Aimee! And those sprinkles <3 I love simple treats like this :)
Aimee says
Thanks Lucie! :-)
Rebecca @ Strength and Sunshine says
How did you know I just LOVE all things funfetti and sprinkles ;) SOOO great!
Aimee says
Thanks Rebecca :D
Becky Striepe says
Oh my gosh, these are so pretty! I love any excuse to buy bags of vegan mallows.
Aimee says
Me too! Then it’s just the matter of not eating them all before they make it into the recipe…
Aysegul says
Oh those failed recipes.. Do not even get me started. ;)
Rice krispies and vegan marshmallow combination looks and sounds incredible. So well done. <3
Aimee says
Haha! Yes, they’re the dark side of food blogging…
Vanessa @ VeganFamilyRecipes says
My boys will LOVE this recipe! I still not a fan of aquafaba. I’m always skeptical of things that come in cans…so I’m actually happy you didn’t use it in this recipe :) Looks lovely! Pinning!
Aimee says
Thank you, Vanessa! I am a huge aquafaba fan, although I was sceptical at first too :D
