Ingredients You’ll Need:
🍓 1 cup of butter (because everything’s better with butter)
🍓 2 packages of mini marshmallows (hello, gooey goodness!)
🍓 60 grams of freeze-dried strawberries (for that perfect berry burst)
🍓 10 cups of Rice Krispie cereal (for that classic crispy crunch)
🍓 A splash of vanilla (just a hint of warmth)
🍓 A sprinkling of sea salt (to balance the sweetness)
Let’s Make Some Magic!
Step 1: Melt the Love
In a large pot, melt the butter over low heat.
Step 2: Marshmallow Madness
Add the mini marshmallows and stir until completely melted and smooth.
Step 3: Flavor Boost
Stir in a splash of vanilla.
Step 4: Get Crispy
Remove the pot from heat and gently fold in the Rice Krispie cereal. Make sure every piece gets coated in that marshmallowy goodness.
Step 5: Strawberry Bliss
Crumble the freeze-dried strawberries into the mix, stirring just enough to distribute them evenly. The little pops of pink make these treats extra festive for Valentine’s Day!
Step 6: Press & SetTransfer the mixture into a greased 9x13-inch pan. Use a spatula (or your hands lightly greased with butter) to press everything down evenly. Let it cool for about 30 minutes—if you can wait that long!
Step 7: Cut & Enjoy
Once set, cut them into squares and sprinkle a little extra sea salt on top. This tiny step makes a big difference in flavor, trust me! Then, devour!
