Ingredients

Strawberry Rice Krispie Treats

1/2 cup unsalted butter 113g
1 10 oz bag regular or mini marshmallows 285g
1 3 oz package strawberry gelatin I used strawberry Jello
1 tsp lime juice 4g
1 tsp vanilla extract or vanilla bean paste 4g
6 cups puffed rice cereal 160g
1 cup mini marshmallows, optional

Instructions

Grease and line a square 8-inch cake pan with parchment paper.
In a large pot, melt 1/2 cup of butter over medium heat.
Turn the heat to low and stir in 10 oz. of marshmallows with a rubber spatula until smooth.
Add in 3 oz. of strawberry gelatin and stir until combined.
Next, mix in 1 tsp lime juice and 1 tsp vanilla.
Remove the pot from the stove and stir in 6 cups of puffed rice cereal in two additions. Stir until the cereal is fully coated.
If desired, mix in 1 cup of mini marshmallows at this stage. This will give these strawberry rice krispies an added bit of texture and an awesome look when you cut in.
Quickly scoop the mixture into the prepared pan. Use a rubber spatula to gently press the mixture into an even layer.
Optional: Drizzle the top of treats with white chocolate ganache.
Let the rice krispies cool for 15 minutes, then cut into squares and enjoy.

Notes

Making Thinner Strawberry Rice Krispie Treats

If you want to make thinner treats use a rectangular 13x9" cake pan. This will give you around 32 1x2" treats.

Tips for Making the Best Strawberry Rice Krispie Treats

Prepare your pan before you melt your butter! Things will get sticky quickly.
Mix in the cereal gradually! This will ensure it gets evenly coated with chocolate.
Although it is optional- I recommend drizzling the top of the treats with some melted white chocolate for some added richness. Use this recipe!
Let your treats cool for at least 10 minutes before cutting and serving.

There are so many ways to make these Rice Krispie Treats your own! Here are a few ideas:

Use cocoa krispies or any other crunchy cereal!
Mix in different candies or cookie crumbs.
Brown your butter to add nutty-caramel notes to the treats.
