Why you'll love this recipe

Brightly colored and gooey sweet, these rainbow Trix crispies are the hit of any party! Easy to make and so much more fun than a traditional crispy treat. Using the traditional recipe of marshmallows, melted butter, and crisp rice cereal, you can substitute just about any cereal and the marshmallow "glue" will hold it together.

In addition to the Trix cereal, I have added orange juice and zest to enhance the fruity flavor of the cereal.

Is Trix cereal gluten free?

The cereal made by General Mills in the United States and North America is not labeled gluten free. Looking at the label, the General Mills version of Trix cereal appears to be gluten free, and contains no gluten ingredients.

The Trix cereal made by Nestle for other countries is also gluten free. 

This information is further tested and confirmed by multiple sources, including celiac.com.

How long does this recipe last?

My rule for maximum flavor and freshness is to enjoy these rainbow crispies within four days.

Store in a glass container with a tightly fitting lid.
