Recipe Tips

• Warm the butter and marshmallows on low heat. Using high heat could cause the treats to become hard.
• Make sure to keep stirring. This will help prevent the marshmallows from burning.
• Don't over mix the cereal. Stir until just coated.
• You can add in a few mini marshmallows at the end for extra chewiness.
• Use greased baking dish. You can also use a greased piece of parchment paper or spatula to help press the treats into the dish.
• Let them cool for about 30 minutes before cutting.

Variations

Make these strawberry rice krispie treats with JELL-O your own with these variations:

• Crunchy topping: Try adding crushed freeze dried strawberries or crumbled Golden Oreos on top for a little crunch.
• Chocolate: Drizzle melted chocolate or white chocolate on top of the cereal treats.
• Sprinkles: Add a little extra color with sprinkles.
• Extra marshmallows: Stir in a few extra mini marshmallows in the cereal mixture before spreading in the baking dish.
