Ingredients

• 10 ounces fruit-flavored marshmallows
• 4 tablespoons butter
• 6 cups crispy rice cereal
• 1 cup freeze-dried fruit (e.g. strawberries, blueberries, or mango)
• 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
• 1 spray/sheet nonstick cooking spray or parchment paper

Directions

Step 1

Prepare a 9x13-inch baking dish by lightly spraying it with nonstick cooking spray or lining it with parchment paper. Set aside.

Step 2

In a large pot, melt the butter over low heat, stirring occasionally to prevent browning.

Step 3

Once the butter is melted, add the fruit-flavored marshmallows to the pot and stir continuously until they are completely melted and smooth.

Step 4

Remove the pot from heat and stir in the vanilla extract.

Step 5

Gently fold in the crispy rice cereal, ensuring it is evenly coated in the marshmallow mixture.

Step 6

Lightly crush the freeze-dried fruit with your hands or a rolling pin, then fold it into the cereal mixture. Be careful not to overmix so the pieces of fruit remain intact.

Step 7

Quickly transfer the mixture into the prepared baking dish, pressing it down into an even layer with a spatula. To prevent sticking, you can spray the spatula with nonstick cooking spray or use a piece of parchment paper to press down.

Step 8

Allow the treats to cool at room temperature for about 30 minutes, or until set.

Step 9

Once cooled, cut into 12 squares or rectangles. Serve and enjoy your fruity crispy rice cereal treats!
