Ingredients
Scale
Main Ingredients:
- 6 cups strawberry-flavored Rice Krispies cereal
- 1 10-ounce (283 grams) bag mini marshmallows
- 4 tablespoons (60 grams) unsalted butter
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
Crunch Topping Ingredients:
- 10 Golden Oreos, crushed
- 3 tablespoons strawberry Jell-O powder
- 3 tablespoons melted butter
Binding Ingredients:
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
Instructions
- Craft the strawberry crunch topping by thoroughly blending crushed Golden Oreos, strawberry Jell-O powder, and melted butter until uniformly combined. Set mixture aside for later use.
- Select a large pot and melt butter over low heat, maintaining gentle temperature to prevent burning. Gradually incorporate mini marshmallows, continuously stirring until completely liquefied and smooth.
- Remove marshmallow mixture from heat source and introduce vanilla extract, stirring swiftly to integrate. Fold Rice Krispies cereal into marshmallow base, ensuring every grain receives an even coating.
- Prepare a 9×13-inch baking dish by lightly greasing surfaces to prevent sticking. Transfer Rice Krispie mixture into pan, using spatula or clean hands to distribute evenly and create a compact layer.
- Generously distribute prepared strawberry crunch mixture across the Rice Krispie surface, gently pressing topping to ensure secure adhesion and uniform coverage.
- Allow treats to rest and solidify at room temperature for approximately 30 minutes. Once set, slice into square portions using a sharp knife for clean, precise cuts.
Notes
- Customize Crunch Intensity by adjusting the amount of Golden Oreo crumbs, creating a personal texture preference.
- Try different Jell-O flavors to create unique seasonal variations like raspberry or peach.
- Use parchment paper for easier removal and cleaner cutting of treats, preventing sticky mess.
- Store treats in an airtight container at room temperature for maximum freshness, consuming within 2-3 days for optimal taste and texture.
