Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 tablespoons unsalted butter
- 10 cups mini marshmallows
- 6 cups Rice Krispies cereal
- 1 cup freeze-dried blueberries
- 1 cup freeze-dried peaches
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 0.25 teaspoon salt
Instructions
Grease a 9x13-inch baking dish with butter or non-stick spray and set aside.
In a large, heavy-bottomed pot, melt the unsalted butter over medium-low heat.
Once the butter is melted, stir in the mini marshmallows and cook, stirring constantly, until completely melted and smooth.
Remove the pot from the heat and quickly stir in the vanilla extract and salt.
Add the Rice Krispies cereal to the pot and gently fold the mixture together until the cereal is fully coated with the marshmallow mixture.
Fold in the freeze-dried blueberries and freeze-dried peaches, ensuring they are evenly distributed throughout the mixture.
Transfer the mixture to the greased baking dish and press it down evenly using a greased spatula or your hands (buttered or sprayed with non-stick spray).
Allow the treats to cool and set at room temperature for about 30 minutes.
Once set, cut into squares or rectangles and serve. Store in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days.
