Strawberry Rice Krispie Treats
These strawberry rice krispie treats adds a fun twist to the classic recipe by adding freeze-dried strawberries. Not only are they quick and easy to make, all you need are 5 ingredients!
Equipment
- 8x8 inch baking pan
- Large Saucepan
- Non-Stick Spray
Ingredients:
- 4 tablespoons unsalted butter
- 10 ounce bag of mini marshmallows (or 5 cups)
- 4 ½ cups rice krispie cereal
- ½ cup freeze-dried strawberries, crushed up
- ⅛ teaspoon salt
Instructions:
- Line an 8x8-inch baking pan with parchment paper and then non-stick spray. Set aside.
- In a large sauce pan over low heat, melt the butter. Once melted, add the mini marshmallows and stir occasionally until completely melted.
- Remove the pan from the heat and gently mix in the rice krispie cereal, crushed freeze-dried strawberries, and salt until evenly coated.
- Spoon the mixture into the prepared pan and use a piece of parchment paper that's been sprayed with non-stick spray to press it down into an even layer.
- Allow the bars to cool for 20 minutes before slicing them into bars.
- Keep any leftover bars in an airtight container on the counter for up to 3 days.
Notes:
Baking Pan: Line your 8x8-inch baking pan with parchment paper and then non-stick spray.
Strawberries: You must use freeze-dried strawberries. Fresh or frozen strawberries will cause the bars to not set up properly. Here are the strawberries I used. You can also find them near the produce section of your local grocery store.
Parchment Paper: Use a piece of parchment paper lightly sprayed with non-stick spray to evenly press down the rice krispies into the prepared baking dish.
