Ingredients
Scale
Main Ingredients
- 8 cups mini white marshmallows
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1/4 cup salted butter, softened
- 8 cups Rice Krispies cereal
- 1 1/2 cups Strawberry Shortcake Crumbs
Other
- Non-stick cooking spray
Instructions
- Prepare Strawberry Shortcake Crumbs: Ensure the strawberry shortcake crumbs are fully cooled before you start assembling the treats to ensure they adhere properly and maintain texture.
- Grease Baking Dish: Lightly spray a 9×13-inch baking dish with non-stick cooking spray and set aside to prevent sticking when pressing in the mixture.
- Melt Marshmallow Mixture: In a large saucepan over low heat, combine the softened butter, vanilla extract, and mini white marshmallows. Stir frequently until the marshmallows are fully melted and incorporated with the butter, then remove from heat.
- Combine Cereal and Crumbs: Add the Rice Krispies cereal and one cup of the strawberry shortcake crumbs to the melted marshmallow mixture. Stir with a spatula until everything is evenly combined.
- Press Mixture into Dish: Transfer the mixture to the prepared baking dish and use a spatula or lightly sprayed hands to press it down evenly, creating a flat surface.
- Add Remaining Crumbs: Sprinkle the remaining 1/2 cup of strawberry shortcake crumbs on top and press lightly to make them stick to the surface.
- Chill: Place the baking dish in the freezer for 15 minutes to set the treats firmly.
- Slice and Store: Remove from freezer, slice into squares, and store in a food-safe container in the refrigerator for up to five days.
Notes
- Make sure strawberry shortcake crumbs are fully cooled before using.
- If hands stick when pressing the mixture, lightly spray your palms with non-stick cooking spray.
- Use vegan marshmallows as a substitute for a vegan-friendly version.
- Store treats in the fridge to maintain freshness for up to five days.
- Freezing for 15 minutes helps set the treats for easier slicing.
