Step 1- Crumble - Use a food processor or small blender to crumble the fruity pebbles and vanilla cookies separately.
Step 2 - Mix - Place both crumbles in a bowl and mix. Ready to eat.
If you do not have a food processor or blender, use a plastic storage bag and rolling pin to crumble the cookies.
Do not over blend or process, to prevent a very fine or flour like mixture. You want to see some crumble chunks.

Quick question, do the fruity pebbles get a stale feeling to them. I'm so curious because I've had donuts and cupcakes with fruity pebbles on them and the get a weird stale texture. I was hoping this didn't because they are chopped up.
