WEEKLY CANDY: Cocoa Pebbles Treats
IN QUESTION: Dredging a weeks-old Easter basket for snacks, I came up with this Cocoa Pebbles Treat by the lovely people at Post. Cemented with sticky marshmallow and striped with chocolate, it’s the same principle as the classic Rice Krispie Treat, only made with a far, far better cereal (one of my bad-for-you favorites), begging the question: Why have I not thought of this before?
WHERE TO BUY: This was a gift (presumably for a child) so while I can’t say for sure, I’d wager Target has them by the box.
HOW MANY DO WE TYPICALLY EAT IN ONE SITTING: At only 90 calories each, polishing off two to three would be permissible, but unfortunately, Cocoa Pebbles Treats have the same weird ... something as pre-packaged Rice Krispie Treat. You know what I mean. The boxed version never tastes the same as homemade. I suspect it has something to do with Post’s dumb use of hydrogenated vegetable oils instead of the good ol' fashioned butter.
FINER POINTS: Brilliant idea, poor execution befalls Cocoa Pebbles Treats. Good news is you can make ‘em at home, or stop by Shop 543, Urban Outfitters' swank cafeteria, where I’ve seen Pebbles Treats in both Cocoa and Fruity form.

Bean Exchange carries a locally-made take on this(can't remember vendor) that is amazing. Think maple syrup, cocoa, krispies and more deliciousness in a crunchy square that totally fills you up for breakfast. And they happen to be vegan, too.— danya
