Ingredients

Scale

Marshmallow Mixture

  • 8 cups mini white marshmallows
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1/4 cup salted butter, softened

Main Ingredients

  • 8 cups Rice Krispies cereal
  • Non-stick cooking spray
  • 1 1/2 cups Strawberry Shortcake Crumbs, cooled

Instructions

  1. Prepare Crumbs: Ensure the strawberry shortcake crumbs are fully cooled before beginning the recipe to prevent melting or sogginess in the treats.
  2. Grease Pan: Lightly coat a 9×13-inch baking dish with non-stick cooking spray and set it aside to prepare for assembling the treats.
  3. Melt Marshmallows: In a large saucepan over low heat, combine softened butter, vanilla extract, and mini marshmallows. Stir frequently until marshmallows are fully melted and the mixture is smooth, then remove from heat.
  4. Mix Cereal and Crumbs: Fold in the Rice Krispies cereal and 1 cup of the strawberry shortcake crumbs into the marshmallow mixture using a spatula until evenly combined.
  5. Press Mixture: Pour the mixture into the prepared baking dish, pressing it flat and evenly. To prevent sticking, lightly spray one palm with non-stick spray and rub your hands together before pressing.
  6. Add Topping: Sprinkle the remaining 1/2 cup of strawberry shortcake crumbs evenly over the surface and gently press them down so they adhere to the top.
  7. Chill: Place the baking dish in the freezer for 15 minutes to set the treats firmly.
  8. Slice and Store: Remove from the freezer, cut into squares, and store in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to five days.

Notes

  • For best results, use freshly cooled strawberry shortcake crumbs to maintain texture.
  • Lightly spraying your hands helps prevent the marshmallow mixture from sticking during pressing.
  • These treats can be stored in the fridge but are best enjoyed within 5 days for optimal freshness.
  • Feel free to substitute salted butter with unsalted butter and add a pinch of salt if desired.
  • Use a sharp knife sprayed lightly with non-stick spray for easier slicing.
