Ingredients

Scale

Base Ingredients

  • 6 cups Rice Krispies cereal
  • 4 cups mini marshmallows
  • 3 tablespoons butter

Strawberry Flavor

  • 1 cup fresh strawberries, finely chopped
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1 tablespoon strawberry gelatin powder (optional)

Instructions

  1. Prep your pan: Grease a 9×13-inch baking pan with butter or line it with parchment paper to ensure your treats don’t stick and remove easily once set.
  2. Melt butter and marshmallows: In a large saucepan over low heat, melt the butter until shimmering. Add the mini marshmallows gradually, stirring constantly until completely melted and smooth.
  3. Incorporate strawberries and flavorings: Stir in finely chopped fresh strawberries and vanilla extract while the marshmallow mixture is warm. If using strawberry gelatin powder, sprinkle it in now for extra flavor and color, mixing until combined.
  4. Mix in Rice Krispies cereal: Remove the pan from heat and gently fold in the Rice Krispies cereal until each piece is evenly coated with the strawberry marshmallow mixture.
  5. Press mixture into the pan: Transfer the mixture into the prepared pan, gently pressing it down using a buttered spatula or wax paper. Avoid compressing too much to keep the treats light and airy.
  6. Let it cool and set: Allow the treats to cool completely at room temperature for about 1 hour before slicing into squares and enjoying.

Notes

  • Use ripe, juicy fresh strawberries for the best natural flavor and color.
  • Fold the cereal in gently to keep the treats crispy and light.
  • Work quickly as marshmallow mixtures harden fast.
  • Lightly grease your hands to easily press the mixture without sticking.
  • Store treats in an airtight container at room temperature to maintain freshness and chewiness.
