Description

These Strawberry Rice Krispy Treats are a delightful twist on the classic crispy marshmallow snack. Infused with the natural sweetness and vibrant flavor of freeze-dried strawberries, they offer a fruity and colorful treat perfect for any occasion. The recipe is simple and quick, using basic pantry ingredients with a burst of strawberry powder for an extra special touch.

Ingredients

Scale

Strawberry Powder

  • 1 oz freeze dried strawberries

Marshmallow Mixture

  • 10 oz mini marshmallows (plus 1 cup extra to mix in)
  • 1/2 tsp vanilla extract
  • 4 tbsp butter

Cereal

  • 5 cup rice krispie cereal

Instructions

  1. Prepare the Pan: Line an 8×8 inch pan with parchment paper and set aside to prevent sticking.
  2. Make Strawberry Powder: Place freeze-dried strawberries into a food processor and grind until a fine powder forms. Set this powder aside for later use.
  3. Melt Marshmallows and Butter: In a large microwave-safe bowl, combine 10 oz of mini marshmallows, 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract, and 4 tablespoons butter. Microwave for 1-2 minutes until everything is melted and smooth, stirring halfway through for even melting.
  4. Mix in Cereal and Strawberry Powder: Immediately add 5 cups of rice krispie cereal and the prepared strawberry powder to the melted marshmallow mixture. Fold gently with a spatula until the cereal is well coated and the strawberry powder is evenly distributed.
  5. Add Extra Marshmallows: Mix in the additional 1 cup of mini marshmallows carefully to maintain some texture and variability in the treats.
  6. Shape and Cool: Gently spread the mixture evenly into the prepared pan. Avoid pressing too firmly to keep the treats light and airy. Allow the treats to cool at room temperature for about 30 minutes before slicing into squares and serving.

Notes

  • Do not over-press the mixture in the pan to keep the treats light and crunchy.
  • Freeze-dried strawberries provide intense flavor without moisture, ensuring the treats remain crisp.
  • For easier cutting, refrigerate the treats briefly after cooling to firm up.
  • These treats can be stored in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days.
