Ingredients
Scale
- 1/2 cup butter or vegan butter
- 12oz marshmallows or vegan marshmallows
- 1/4 cup sweetened condensed coconut milk
- 1 tsp vanilla extract
- 1/8 tsp salt
- 6 cups rice krispies cereal (or brown rice crisps)
- 1 and 1/4 cup freeze-dried strawberries, divided
- 1/2 cup chocolate chips, melted
Instructions
- Line a 9×9-inch square baking dish with parchment paper, leaving some of the paper hanging over the edges. Lightly spray with oil.
- In a large pot, melt the butter over medium-low heat. Add marshmallows, then stir together just until the marshmallows are melted through. It is important to slowly melt them; do not overcook the marshmallows or the rice krispies treats will become hard. Stir in the sweetened condensed coconut milk, vanilla extract, and salt. Immediately remove from the heat.
- Add rice krispies cereal to the pot. Gently fold together, evenly coating all of the cereal. Add 1 cup freeze-dried strawberries and stir together until combined.
- Transfer the mixture to the baking dish. Using a silicone spatula, press it across the dish in an even layer.
- In a small bowl, add chocolate chips. Microwave in 30-second intervals, stirring in between, until melted through. Drizzle on top of the rice krispie treats. Sprinkle remaining ¼ cup freeze-dried strawberries on top.
- Set aside to cool for one hour. If you’d like to speed up the process, you can chill them in the refrigerator. After, slice into 16 squares. Enjoy!
Notes
- How to store: Store rice krispie treats inside a sealed container at room temperature. Enjoy within 2-3 days.
- How to make them gluten-free: The classic Kellogg’s Rice Krispies cereal is not gluten-free because it contains malt flavoring. You must use gluten-free brown rice crisps cereal instead. I listed several recommendations in the FAQ.
- Dairy-free/vegan: If you are not dairy-free or vegan, you can use regular dairy butter and regular marshmallows for this recipe. The results are the same!
