Equipment

Ingredients

  • 6 Tablespoons butter (regular or dairy free)
  • 7 cups mini marshmallows, separated
  • 1 teaspoon real vanilla extract
  • 5 cups Rice Krispies cereal
  • ¾ cup freeze dried strawberries, ground into a fine powder (regular or dairy free)
  • ¼ cup freeze dried strawberries, chopped into small pieces (optional)
US Customary - Metric

Instructions

  • Line an 8x8 or 9x9 baking pan with parchment paper. Use a blender or food processor to grind up ¾ cup of freeze dried strawberries until they turn into a powder. Chop the remaining ¼ cup of strawberries, then set aside.
  • In a large pot, melt the butter over medium heat.
  • Add 6 cups of marshmallows (leaving one cup to the side!) and stir with the melted butter until the marshmallows have melted.
  • Remove from the heat and add in the vanilla extract and the ground up strawberries (leave the chopped strawberries to the side for now). Stir with a wooden spoon until combined.
  • Add in the rice krispie cereal, remaining cup of marshmallows, and the chopped freeze dried strawberries. Stir quickly until fully combined.
  • Pour the rice krispie mixture into your lined pan and use a greased spatula or your hands to gently press the mixture down into an even layer. Press more freeze dried strawberries into the top of the treats, or add a drizzle of chocolate. Let them set completely, then slice and enjoy!

Notes

Doubling Instructions: Double all ingredients and use a 9x13 dish.
Marshmallows: Large marshmallows can be used instead of mini ones. When stirring in the remaining 1 cup, be sure to cut or chop those marshmallows into smaller pieces first before adding them in with the rice krispies.
Storage Instructions: Store in an airtight container for up to 3 days.
