Ingredients

  • 6 tablespoons butter
  • 16 ounces miniature marshmallows divided
  • 3 tablespoons strawberry fruit powder
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla
  • 6 cups Strawberry Rice Krispies cereal
  • 1/3 cup sliced dried strawberries

Instructions

  • Line a 9" x 9" baking dish with parchment paper.
    TIP: I love to use these precut parchment sheets when I’m baking to make my time in the kitchen super easy and less messy.
  • In a large saucepan, add butter.
  • Place saucepan over low heat and melt butter.
  • Add marshmallows, reserving 1 cup, and strawberry fruit powder.
    TIP: Not sure where to find strawberry fruit powder?  I purchased mine online.
  • Stir together until smooth and melted and completely combined.
  • Add vanilla to saucepan.
  • Stir together to combine.
  • Pour cereal into marshmallow mixture with reserved marshmallows.
  • Stir together until completely combined.
  • Spoon cereal mixture into parchment lined baking dish.
  • Lightly press cereal mixture into baking dish with moistened fingertips.
    TIP: Press gently just until the mixture is spread out to fill the pan.  If you press the mixture too firmly, the end result will be very dense instead of light and airy.
  • Lightly press dried strawberries into top of cereal mixture and allow to cool for one hour prior to cutting.
