Strawberry Shortcake Rice Krispie Treats
Perfect for Valentine's Day or just a quick tasty treat. These Strawberry Shortcake Rice Krispie Treats are a yummy twist on the classic marshmallowy treats we all know and love. Freeze dried strawberries, vanilla Oreos and a little extra vanilla extract take the classic rice krispie treats up a notch, or two.
Ingredients
- 7 cup rice krispies cereal
- 4 ½ tablespoon butter
- 12 oz mini marshmallows
- ½ Teaspoon vanilla extract
- ¾ Cup freeze dried strawberries
- 8 vanilla oreos
I always use Kosher salt in my kitchen! If using table salt, start with half the amount and adjust to taste, as it is much "saltier" by volume.
Instructions
- Lightly oil a 9x13 dish.
- Roughly chop the freeze-dried strawberries into small pieces.
- Chop oreos into small pieces.
- In a large bowl combine the rice krispies cereal, half of the oreos and ½ cup of the strawberries along with the powder that was created when the strawberries were chopped. Mix to combine. Set aside.
- Melt the butter in a large pan. Add in the marshmallows and continuously stir until melted. Remove from heat and immediately add in the vanilla extract, and cereal mixture.
- Stir until fully combined. Spread evenly in the prepared dish. Using a silicone spatula makes this easy.
- Sprinkle over the remaining oreos and strawberries, gently pressing them into the rice krispies.
- Allow to cool and set for 20 minutes before cutting. Enjoy!
