    Easy Strawberry Rice Krispie Treats

    Jump to Recipe - Print Recipe

    Loaded with marshmallows, extra butter, a dash of vanilla and freeze dried strawberries, these Easy Strawberry Rice Krispie Treats are sure to make a childhood favorite into an adult dream!  

    Strawberry Rice Krispie Treats have a fresh flavor that you might not expect from this childhood favorite.  The strawberry tends to cut the sweetness and brings out a gourmet touch.  While strawberries are the focus, these perfect squares are loaded with extra marshmallows, extra butter and vanilla extract to be sure they are ooey gooey good.  Once the marshmallows are melted, adding in the ground up freezed dried strawberries is what make the beautiful color and the decadent flavor.  

    If you are a lover of Rice Krispie Treats like we are, you must try some of our other most popular flavors . Cookies and Cream Rice Krispie Treats are a must for kids and adults and Peanut Butter Cup Rice Krispie Treats are like eating a candy bar. If you want something festive, Funfetti White Chocolate Rice Krispie Treats is a party in each bite.

    Ingredients

    Butter
    Freeze Dried Strawberries
    Rice Krispie Cereal
    Marshmallows
    Vanilla Extract

    Step-by-Step Directions

    • Prepare an 8x8 inch square pan with parchment paper; set aside
    • In a small food processor grind up the freeze dried strawberries into a powder
    • In a large saucepan, melt the butter completely, add in 5 cups of mini marshmallows and stir until completely melted
    • Remove the saucepan from the heat and add the freeze dried strawberries and vanilla extract into the melted marshmallows and stir until combined (marshmallows will be pink)
    • Stir in the Rice Krispie cereal into the marshmallow mixture and mix until fully coated
    • Add in the remaining 1 cup of mini marshmallows and mix until there are marshmallows throughout (not melted)
    • Pour and spread the mixture into the prepared pan and allow it to cool completely before cutting
    • Once they are ready to cut, remove the Strawberry Rice Krispie Treats from the pan and cut into desired size

    Tips and FAQS To Make The Best Rice Krispie Treats

    Fresh Ingredients
    It is very important to check the expiration date of the marshmallows and cereal. If the cereal is expired and stale the Rice Krispie treats will not have a good crunch. Expired marshmallows will not melt correctly and they become very gummy.

    Can I remove the Freeze Dried Strawberries?

    If you prefer a Classic Rice Krispie Treat, you can remove the freeze dried strawberries or check out our Classic recipe.

    What is the best way to store Rice Krispie Treats?

    If you are not going to eat them the same day you make them, make sure to package them up in an airtight container or a zip lock bag so that they don't get hard.

    Can I freeze Rice Krispie Treats?

    I prefer to not freeze these treats, but instead make them fresh when you want to enjoy them.
