Strawberry Rice Krispie Treats

5 from 1 vote
Sweet and gooey and studded with bits of berries, these fruity krispie treats are perfection!

Ingredients

  • 6 tablespoons butter
  • 6 cups Strawberry Rice Krispies
  • 1 16 oz bag mini marshmallows about 10 cups
  • 1 oz bag freeze-dried strawberries
  • 1 teaspoon almond extract

Instructions

  • Line an 8x8 (or 9x9) pan with parchment, if desired.
  • Place butter in a large pot on the stove top.  While it's melting, place Krispie Cereal in a separate large bowl and add 1 1/2 cups marshmallows.  Use your hands to gently crush the freeze-dried berries as you add them to the bowl with the cereal.  You don't need to pulverize them, just crush them into smaller pieces. 
  • When butter is melted, add remainder of  marshmallow bag and stir until completely melted and smooth.  Remove from heat and add almond extract.  Use a rubber spatula to scrape out all marshmallow mixture and pour over cereal mixture.  Gently stir until cereal is completely coated and transfer mixture into pan. 
  • Coat hands with a little butter and then gently press down (DON'T pack it down, gently press!) and let sit until cooled and set.  Cut into squares to serve, or ya know- just start pulling chunks out with your hands.  I won't judge.
