Fruity Pebble Crunch

Any cereal will yield a delicious crunch. This recipe is a great example of different salt and sugar ratios from the cornflake crunch recipe, because Fruity Pebbles are sweeter. Knowing the sweetness and salt level of the cereal will help you adjust your sugar and salt amounts accordingly when making a crunch out of it.
