Ingredients

  • 6 cups crisped rice cereal
  • 10 oz mini marshmallows
  • 1/2 cup unsalted butter
  • 1/2 cup freeze -dried strawberries, pulverized into a fine powder
  • 1/4 cup unsweetened cocoa powder
  • 1/2 cup freeze -dried strawberries, roughly chopped
  • 1 tsp vanilla extract
  • 1/4 tsp fine sea salt
  • 2 oz semi -sweet chocolate, melted for garnish

Instructions

  • Line a 9x9 inch square baking pan with parchment paper and lightly grease with butter or non-stick spray.
  • In a large heavy-bottomed pot, melt the butter over low heat until completely liquid.
  • Add the mini marshmallows to the melted butter, stirring constantly with a silicone spatula until the mixture is smooth and fully melted.
  • Remove the pot from the heat source immediately.
  • Whisk in the cocoa powder, strawberry powder, vanilla extract, and sea salt until the marshmallow base is uniform in color.
  • Gently fold in the crisped rice cereal and the chopped freeze-dried strawberries until every grain is evenly coated with the chocolate-strawberry marshmallow mixture.
  • Transfer the mixture into the prepared baking pan and press down gently with a greased spatula to create an even layer without compressing the cereal too tightly.
  • Allow the treats to cool and set at room temperature for approximately 30 minutes.
  • Drizzle the melted semi-sweet chocolate over the top in a decorative pattern and let it harden.
  • Slice into 12 uniform rectangular bars using a sharp, greased knife.
