Scale
Base Ingredients
- 3 cups rice cereal
- 1 cup mini marshmallows
- 1/2 cup butter
Mix-ins
- 1 cup strawberries, chopped
- 1/2 cup white chocolate chips
Instructions
- Melt Butter: In a large saucepan over low heat, melt the 1/2 cup of butter until fully melted and slightly foamy, ensuring it doesn’t burn.
- Add Marshmallows: Add 1 cup of mini marshmallows to the melted butter and stir continuously until the marshmallows are completely melted and the mixture is smooth.
- Incorporate Rice Cereal: Remove the saucepan from heat and immediately stir in 3 cups of rice cereal, mixing thoroughly to evenly coat the cereal with the marshmallow mixture.
- Fold in Strawberries and White Chocolate Chips: Gently fold in the chopped strawberries (1 cup) and 1/2 cup of white chocolate chips, ensuring they are evenly distributed without crushing the berries.
- Press into Pan: Lightly grease a 9×13 inch baking pan, then press the mixture firmly and evenly into the pan to form an even layer.
- Cool and Cut: Allow the treats to cool completely at room temperature until set, then cut into 12 squares and serve.
Notes
- For best results, use fresh, firm strawberries to prevent excess moisture.
- Greasing the pan helps in easy removal of the treats once set.
- You can substitute white chocolate chips with regular chocolate chips for a different flavor.
- Store leftovers in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days.
