Strawberry Rice Krispie Treats
My favorite twist on rice krispie treats is this simple addition of freeze-dried strawberries! With a sprinkle of sea salt, these are divine.

Ingredients
Units
Scale
- 1 1/2 cup freeze-dried strawberries
- 4 1/2 cup rice krispie cereal
- 5 cup marshmallows, (mini are best but use what you have!)
- 4 tbsp unsalted butter
- 1 tsp vanilla extract
- sea salt for topping (optional)
Instructions
- Grease a 9 x 13 inch baking dish with butter (see note).
- Pulse freeze-dried strawberries in a blender until a powdery consistency develops. A few small lumps are okay. Add the cereal to a large mixing bowl with the strawberry powder and set aside.
- Melt butter in a large stock pot over medium-low heat. Add the marshmallows and stir constantly until fully melted. Remove from heat. Add vanilla, then cereal/strawberry powder mixture and mix gently with a rubber spatula until combined.
- Scrape the mixture into the baking dish and press firmly with (greased) hands until even.
- Allow to cool before sprinkling with sea salt and cutting into bars.
Notes
Baking dish: 9 x 13 will yield a somewhat thin rice krispie treat, if you want thicker treats, feel free to use a smaller baking dish! This will of course, yield a smaller amount.
Marshmallows: yes, mini are best, but as you can see in the photos above regular size are sometimes all you’ve got. Use them! It still works 🙂
