Description

A fun and fruity twist on the classic Rice Krispie treat, with a strawberry flavor and a crunchy topping.


Ingredients

Scale
  • 4 cups Rice Krispies cereal
  • 1/4 cup unsalted butter
  • 1 package (10 oz) mini marshmallows
  • 1/2 tsp vanilla extract
  • 1/4 cup freeze-dried strawberries, crushed
  • 1/2 cup strawberry-flavored cake mix
  • 1/4 cup sprinkles (optional)
  • 1/2 cup white chocolate chips (optional)

Instructions

  1. In a large saucepan, melt the butter over low heat. Add the mini marshmallows and stir until completely melted and smooth.
  2. Remove from heat and stir in the vanilla extract.
  3. Add the Rice Krispies cereal to the marshmallow mixture, mixing until the cereal is well coated.
  4. In a separate bowl, combine the crushed freeze-dried strawberries, strawberry-flavored cake mix, and sprinkles (if using). Stir this mixture into the Rice Krispies mixture until evenly distributed.
  5. Press the mixture into a greased 9×9-inch pan, making sure to pack it down tightly.
  6. If desired, melt the white chocolate chips in a microwave-safe bowl and drizzle over the top of the treats.
  7. Let the treats cool completely before cutting into squares.
  8. Serve and enjoy the fruity, crunchy goodness!

Notes

  • You can adjust the amount of freeze-dried strawberries and cake mix based on your desired level of strawberry flavor.
  • For added crunch, sprinkle some additional crushed freeze-dried strawberries or crushed graham crackers on top before the white chocolate drizzle sets.
  • These treats can be stored in an airtight container for up to 3 days.
