Instructions

Melt Butter and Marshmallows: In a large pot over medium heat, melt the butter. Add the mini marshmallows and stir constantly until melted and smooth.
Add Flavorings: Remove the pot from heat and stir in the vanilla extract and crushed freeze-dried strawberry powder until fully combined, ensuring an even pink color and fruity flavor.
Incorporate Cereal and Strawberries: Quickly fold in the Rice Krispies cereal and chopped freeze-dried or dried strawberries, stirring until the mixture is evenly coated with the marshmallow blend.
Press into Pan: Transfer the mixture into a greased or parchment-lined 9×13-inch pan. Use a buttered spatula or wax paper to press the mixture down evenly and compactly.
Cool and Cut: Allow the treats to cool at room temperature for about 30 minutes until set. Then, cut into 16 squares.
Optional Decoration: Drizzle with melted white chocolate or white chocolate drizzle before serving for an extra touch of sweetness and presentation.

Notes

Using freeze-dried strawberries ensures the best fruity flavor and a visually appealing pink color without adding moisture.
Store treats in an airtight container for up to 3 days to maintain the ideal texture.
For easier pressing, grease your spatula or use wax paper to avoid sticking.
White chocolate drizzle is optional but adds a lovely creamy contrast to the strawberry flavor.
