Ingredients
- 6 tablespoons unsalted butter
- 2 packages Campfire® Mini-Marshmallows 10 ounces each, divided use
- 9 cups Strawberry Rice Krispies
- 1 ounce freeze dried strawberries roughly chopped
- ½ cup unsalted butter room temperature
- 1 ½ cups powdered sugar sifted
- 1 ½ teaspoons pure vanilla extract
- 1-3 teaspoons milk
- Fresh strawberries for garnish
Instructions
- Line a 9 x 9-inch baking pan with parchment paper or foil and spray with nonstick cooking spray.
- In large pan, melt butter over low heat. Set aside 1 1/2 cups marshmallows. Add the rest of the marshmallows to the pan and stir until completely melted.
- Gradually add crisped rice cereal; stirring until well coated. Fold in the reserved 1 1/2 cups of marshmallows and freeze dried strawberries until thoroughly incorporated.
- Using a buttered spatula or clean hands to firmly press the mixture into the prepared pan. Cool completely.
FOR THE BUTTERCREAM
- In the bowl of a stand mixer fitted with the paddle attachment, or in a large bowl with an electric mixer, beat butter on medium-high speed for about 5 minutes.
- With the mixer on low speed, slowly add in powdered sugar, and continue beating until well blended.
- Add in vanilla, and 1 teaspoon of milk. Mix on low speed until incorporated.
- Beat at high speed until frosting is smooth and fluffy; about 4-5 more minutes. If your frosting is too thick, gradually add a little more milk, 1 teaspoon at a time until you reach the desired consistency.
- Spread or pipe frosting onto cooled marshmallow cereal treats and top with fresh strawberries.
Notes
- I cut these Strawberry Rice Krispie Treats into 9 large pieces. I then piped the buttercream in a zig-zag pattern using a Wilton 2a piping tip.
- If you want the bars to be thinner, I'd suggest using a 9 x 13-inch pan instead of a 9 x 9-inch pan.
