Ingredients

Scale

Main Ingredients

  • 1/2 cup (1 stick) butter, plus more for pan
  • 1 (12-ounce) bag marshmallows
  • 8 cups Rice Krispies cereal
  • 2 1/2 cups white chocolate chips, divided
  • 2 1/2 cups freeze-dried strawberries, divided

Instructions

  1. Prepare Pan and Melt Butter: Grease a 9″-x-13″ baking pan with butter to prevent sticking. In a large pot over medium heat, melt the 1/2 cup butter slowly to avoid burning.
  2. Add and Melt Marshmallows: Add the marshmallows to the melted butter and stir continuously until they are completely melted and smooth. Remove the pot from heat once fully melted.
  3. Mix in Rice Krispies: Stir in the 8 cups of Rice Krispies cereal thoroughly until well coated with the marshmallow mixture.
  4. Fold in Strawberry and White Chocolate Chunks: Gently fold in 2 cups of white chocolate chips and 2 cups of freeze-dried strawberries, distributing them evenly without overmixing.
  5. Transfer and Shape: Pour the mixture into the prepared baking pan. Smooth the top carefully using a spatula or buttered hands, taking care not to pack the mixture tightly, which keeps the treats light and crunchy.
  6. Melt Remaining White Chocolate: In a microwave-safe bowl, melt the remaining 1/2 cup of white chocolate chips in 30-second intervals, stirring between each, until smooth and creamy.
  7. Drizzle Chocolate and Add Toppings: Drizzle the melted white chocolate evenly over the treats in the pan. Sprinkle the remaining 1/2 cup of freeze-dried strawberries on top for an extra burst of flavor and visual appeal.
  8. Set and Cool: Allow the treats to cool at room temperature for about 30 minutes or until the white chocolate has fully hardened, making the bars easy to cut and serve.

Notes

  • Use freeze-dried strawberries for a crunchy texture and concentrated fruity flavor without adding moisture.
  • Be careful not to overheat the marshmallows or white chocolate to prevent burning or separation.
  • For easier cutting, use a buttered knife or spray knife with non-stick spray before slicing.
  • These treats store well in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days.
  • To make the recipe gluten-free, confirm that your Rice Krispies cereal is gluten-free certified.
