I would say, as a treat in small amounts ok. As staple food, not so much. Wheat, molasses, fruit flavour - sounds more like a McFlurry than rabbit food.
I would look for hay based alternatives. Transition gradually.

Oxbow Timothy pellets are amazing. They helped my one rabbit with digestion and he hasn’t had runny droppings since I started feeding them. What I did was mix 1/4 Timothy pellets with the old food at first and then gradually increase the Timothy pellets while decreasing the old pellets

Honestly, anything with dyes in it I wouldn't feed my rabbit, but you will need to transition them off that food and onto a hay-based pellet.
