Units
Scale
- 4 tbsp unsalted butter
- 4 cups crispy rice cereal
- 5 cups mini marshmallows
- 1 tsp vanilla
- 3 cups freeze-dried strawberries
- 1/2 tsp sea salt, plus more for topping
- 1 1/2 cups chocolate chips
- 2 tsp coconut oil
Instructions
- Pulse the freeze-dried strawberries in a blender until no large lumps remain. Mix with rice crispy cereal.
- Melt butter in a large pot over low heat. Add marshmallows and cook (stirring constantly) until fully melted.
- Once melted, remove from heat, add vanilla, 1/2 tsp salt and cereal/strawberry dust and stir until fully coated. Press into a 9 x 13, buttered pan lined with wax paper.
- Allow to cool fully before slicing into desired sized pieces.
- Place chocolate chips in a microwave safe bowl and microwave for 30 second intervals until fully melted. Stir at each interval. When the chips are almost fully melted, or before the last microwave interval, add the coconut oil.
- Tilt the bowl to make a deeper pool of chocolate to dip the rice crispy squares into. Dip each square partially in the chocolate, allow excess to drip back into the bowl and place the crispy treat on a piece of wax paper or parchment. Sprinkle with sea salt and sprinkles if desired.
- Enjoy!
Notes
I got the 2 oz bag of freeze-dried strawberries from target that is linked above. This left me with about an extra cup of strawberries after making these
