Equipment

INGREDIENTS

  • 6 tbsp unsalted butter (use vegan butter if vegan)
  • 10 oz mini marshmallows (divided (use vegan marshmallows if vegan))
  • 1/2 tsp vanilla extract
  • pinch of salt
  • 4 c Rice Krispies cereal
  • 1 c freeze dried strawberries (crushed (try this brand)!)

INSTRUCTIONS

  • Lightly grease a square 8x8" baking pan with butter. Set aside.
  • Melt the butter in a Dutch oven or large saucepan over medium heat. Brown the butter, stirring frequently, until it darkens to a golden color and starts to smell nutty (about 3-4 minutes).
  • Add in the vanilla, pinch of salt, and marshmallows (reserve 1c of marshmallows to the side). Stir frequently until the marshmallows are partially melted, about 2-4 minutes.
  • Turn off the heat, and add in the Rice Krispies and freeze dried strawberries. Stir until evenly combined.
  • Add in the 1 c of marshmallows and stir until they are partially, but not completely melted.
  • Press the mixture into an even layer in the baking pan, and allow to cool at room temperature for at least one hour.
  • Slice the Rice Krispies into bars. Enjoy!
