Equipment

Ingredients
 

  • 6 cups Rice Krispies
  • 60 Marshmallows
  • 4 ½ tablespoons Butter
  • ¼ cup Semi Sweet Chocolate Chips
  • 1 package Freeze Dried Strawberries
  • Red Food Coloring, optional

Instructions
 

  • Grease an 8x8 in square pan with butter.
  • Place 1 ½ tablespoon of butter and 20 marshmallows in a medium size saucepan. Heat over medium heat, stirring frequently until the marshmallows and butter are completely melted.
  • Add in the chocolate chips and continue to stir until completely melted and thoroughly incorporated in the marshmallows. The entire mixture should be brown.
  • Remove from heat and fold in two cups of Rice Krispies until completely coated.
  • Press the mixture into the bottom of your prepared pan. I like to coat my hands with butter so that the mixture doesn’t stick. You can also use a spatula if you don’t want to use your hands.
  • In a clean pan, melt another 20 marshmallows and 1 ½ Tbsp butter over medium heat stirring frequently until the marshmallows and butter are melted completely. Remove from the heat and pour in 2 cups of Rice Krispies and stir until the cereal is completely covered.
  • Press this mixture evenly across the top of the chocolate mixture, pressing firmly.
  • Now place the freeze dried strawberries in a food processor and process until very finely ground.
  • In a clean pan mix together the last 20 marshmallows and 1 ½ tablespoon of butter and melt over medium heat, stirring frequently. Once melted stir in ground strawberries until well incorporated. If a deeper red color is desired you can add a little bit of red food coloring) Stir until well mixed.
  • Add in the final 2 cups of Rice Krispies and stir until completely coated.
  • Press the strawberry layer on top of the vanilla layer, pressing firmly and evenly.
  • Allow to cool completely before cutting.
  • Cut into 9 squares and enjoy! Store in an airtight container.
