Strawberry Rice Krispies Treats

In an effort to use more of the Rice Krispies Cereal that I have stockpiled, I am experimenting with different recipes. My first batch was Banana Treats.  They turned out so good that I decided to try a different flavor.   I found several recipes using strawberry marshmallows. 

I purchased the marshmallows and thought they were good but it didn't quite have the strawberry taste I wanted.  I added a box of strawberry creme pudding to the next batch...much better.  You could also go somewhere in the middle and use one half a box of pudding with the strawberry marshmallows.  It's your treats - make them your way!

Ingredients

6 cup Rice Krispies

1/4 cup of butter or margarine

10 oz bag strawberry marshmallows

1 small box of strawberry creme instant pudding mix

 Directions

Use parchment paper or butter to prepare an 8 inch square dish.  Place butter and marshmallows in a large bowl and microwave for 30 seconds.  Stir and return to microwave at 30 second intervals until melted *  Add pudding and stir until completely combined.  Fold in cereal.  Pour into your prepared dish.  I use a piece of parchment paper to press my treats into the pan (no sticky butter fingers!) but go ahead and use your butter fingers if you don’t have parchment paper.  Next take a spoon and scrap all of the marshmallows and cereal that stuck to the bottom of the bowl and eat immediately!

* My microwave takes 1 ½ minutes to melt the marshmallows perfectly.
