How to Make the Best Strawberries and Cream Rice Krispies Treats

This variation using strawberry marshmallows is not only delicious, but pretty, too. Strawberry marshmallows are a newer addition to the marshmallows aisle and pairing them with freeze dried purchased at my local Target turned these into a tasty twist on a fun classic treat.

Ingredients you’ll need to make homemade Strawberries and Cream Krispies Treats: Rice Krispies, marshmallows, butter, strawberry flavored marshmallows plus one cup mini marshmallows, freeze dried strawberries, white chocolate chips, vegetable shortening and sprinkles for decorating.
Kitchen tools you’ll need: A large pot, rubber spatula, measuring cups and spoons plus a 13 x 9 inch pan.
You can find freeze dried strawberries with the other fruit snacks at places like Target and Walmart. They’re often on the same aisle where the trail mix can be found.
If you’re unable to find strawberry marshmallows, you can use the equivalent of regular vanilla marshmallows. To get the strawberry flavor, you’ll need to add 2-3 teaspoons of strawberry extract and a few drops of red or pink food coloring to tint the marshmallow mixture.
The purpose of the vegetable shortening is to thin the white chocolate for frosting the top. It’s also room temperature stable.
The color of these treats make them perfect for enjoying with your sweetie on Valentine’s Day or for Mom on Mother’s Day. They’re also a fabulous choice for girls birthday parties, baby showers and wedding showers.
Rice Krispie treats are also a terrific addition to your picnic desserts as they hold up in warm weather and don’t require refrigeration.
Store Strawberries and Cream Krispies Treats in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 2 weeks.
