Fruity Pebbles Funnel Cakes
I’ve made my own funnel cakes for years. I rarely ever buy them from the fair or a fall festival because I can make a couple dozen of them for the same price as one costs at one of these little events. It’s super easy & doesn’t really take much time – plus, we can top them however we want without one single funnel cake costing $10.
Well, recently – on a homemade funnel cake binge with my kids – I had the idea to make a Fruity Pebble Funnel Cake and it’s just as magical as I thought it would be. Maybe even more magical.
Y’all, not only did I add fruity pebbles to the funnel cake batter but I topped them with Fruity Pebbles and I a bunch of fresh fruit to further carry out the whole fruity pebble madness flavor.
I don’t know if I can ever truly enjoy another funnel cake after indulging in this version.
Ok, I lied. I could totally indulge in a plain funnel cake. Or three. But after having this one, this version is now my ultimate favorite.
It’s also a great excuse to have dessert for breakfast. I mean, it has breakfast cereal and fresh fruit. Oh, oh…. AND, there is milk & eggs in the batter. Yup, sounds like breakfast to me. 😉
