This Pebbles news more than rocks: it’s a matter of gravel importance.
Okay, I know those mineral puns were more of a stretch than The Rock doing yoga, but something as momentous as Reese’s-flavored Pebbles cereal deserves elementary sedimentary humor.
*Note: Despite what this video says, I’m told these new Pebbles are not gluten free. Sorry!
Yes, Chocolate Peanut Butter Pebbles are soon to be the latest in Post’s Flintstones-fronted crisped cereal line. First reported by @markie_devo on Instagram, this news held water (and milk) once I discovered, by way of a strangely specific product release YouTube video, that news of this choco-nutty niceness has been hiding in plain sight on the web for 5 months!
I blame myself for not finding it. My punishment will be self-flagellation with a fossilized Reese’s Nutrageous Bar.
This isn’t the first time Pebbles has dabbled in this two-tone brown field. 2011 saw the release of puffed Chocolate Peanut Butter Boulders, alongside Apple Cinnamon Boulders. And now that those boulders have finally eroded, we can enjoy them again.
While I’ve publicly stated my controversial feelings about Pebbles as overrated—they’re too airy to produce a wholesome crunch, let alone a hunger-satisfying meal—last year’s Chocolate Peanut Butter Cheerios were so good there’s no way I can contain my Brontosaurus-sized hype.
I hope I can find a box in a Jif-fy!
Has anyone seen these out in the wild yet? I’ve been looking for months with no luck. I’ve checked grocery stores in NY and VA… but nothing.
Just picked up a box in Fairfax VA
I believe that should be Caramel Apple Boulders. 😉
and this is why Kellogg’s is loosing against Post (especially Post at the moment) and GM…. ‘because they are just lamenting how the cereal market is dead and they need to find other products to maximize their profit (and they do well to do so; i wrote a post about this on “the breakfast bowl” bevore accidentally deleted the comment and wasn’t in for writing it again; so if you’re interested let me know), instead of trying to come up with GOOD new and innovative flavors… -.-
I mean cerealously…. (see what i did here ;)), they have rice krispies and cocoa krispies for like half a century now and there are way more delicious Rice Krispie Treats Recipes out there, you could get your inspiration from, and FRUITY Pebbles is the rice based cereal that gets a PB treating? Not sure what went wrong here… oh wait… Kellogg’s did -.- xD
Why am i so upset?
1. I love Coco Pops (Cocoa Krispies), it’s one of my childhood favorites and still is one of the cereals ui love to come back to. Not sure if it is the chocolate or the fact, that i like the rice base, while i also like “the mush” at the end of each bowl.
2. Brings us to #2. Rice Krispies tend to get soggy faster than other (e.g. wheat based) cereal, i don’t tell you something new here, and while i like it from time to time and while i never had a bowl of pebbles, i think it’s even worse for thin rice flakes. Making Rice Krispies the much more obvious choice for “stunts” like this.
3. Kellogg’s ist just lamenting too much instead of doing something 😉

But enough of the lamenting myself:
It’s big news and i’m actually glad to see that they used their rice cereal for this version (it seemed the boulders where wheat, corn, oat based, but i didn’t find any clue/fact here) and i’m glad i’ll get another interesting review to read from you 😀
And don’t be so hard on you! I know it’s easier said than done, but finding a fossilized Nutrageous Bar is a way too hard punishment. I mean… are there even any Nutrageous Bars, that live long enough to get even close to a fossilization? 😉
CHEERS!
