Ingredients
Scale
- 6 cups Rice Krispies cereal
- 5 cups mini marshmallows, plus 1 extra cup for folding in
- 8 tablespoons unsalted butter (1 stick)
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1/2 cup marshmallow fluff (for topping)
- 1 package (3 oz) strawberry jello powder (not prepared)
- 1 package (3.4 oz) vanilla instant pudding powder (not prepared)
- 8 tablespoons unsalted butter (1 stick), divided
- 1/2 cup all-purpose flour, divided
Instructions
- In a small bowl, combine the strawberry jello powder, 4 tablespoons of softened unsalted butter, and 1/4 cup of flour. Mix until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs.
- In a separate bowl, combine the vanilla pudding powder, the remaining 4 tablespoons of softened butter, and the remaining 1/4 cup of flour; mix until combined.
- Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper. Spread both mixtures onto the sheet, pressing down slightly.
- Bake for 7-8 minutes until edges start to bubble. Cool for 10 minutes, then refrigerate for 2 hours.
- Break the cooled mixtures into pieces and pulse in a food processor until resembling coarse crumbs. Freeze until ready to use.
- Melt 8 tablespoons of butter in a saucepan over medium-low heat. Add 5 cups of mini marshmallows and stir until melted and smooth.
- Stir in the vanilla extract, then remove from heat. Quickly add Rice Krispies and remaining mini marshmallows, folding until coated.
- Add 1 cup of the strawberry crunch mixture and fold gently.
- Line a 9×13 inch baking dish with parchment paper and transfer the mixture, pressing gently into an even layer.
- Heat the marshmallow fluff until smooth and drizzle over the treats. Sprinkle remaining strawberry crunch on top.
- Allow to cool and set for 30 minutes, then cut into squares and serve.
Notes
- Press gently to avoid hard treats.
- Use butter on hands or parchment paper to prevent sticking.
- For cleaner cuts, butter the knife between slices.
