Ingredients

Scale
  • 6 cups Rice Krispies cereal (or any crisp rice cereal)
  • 4 tablespoons unsalted butter, plus extra for greasing
  • 1 bag (10 ounces) mini marshmallows
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1/2 cup fresh blueberries
  • 1/2 cup fresh raspberries or sliced strawberries
  • 1/2 cup white chocolate chips (optional, for drizzling)
  • Blue and red food coloring (gel works best for vibrant color)
  • Pinch of salt

Instructions

  1. Grease a 9x13 inch baking dish with butter or line with parchment paper, leaving some overhang for easy lifting. Rinse blueberries and raspberries, then pat dry thoroughly with paper towels. Set aside.
  2. In a large pot over low heat, melt the butter completely. Add mini marshmallows and stir constantly with a silicone spatula until mostly melted. Remove from heat and stir in vanilla extract and a pinch of salt. Optionally add a drop each of red and blue food coloring for a striped effect, or leave the mixture white.
  3. Pour Rice Krispies into the pot with the marshmallow mixture. Fold gently until every piece is coated. Work quickly while still warm.
  4. Spread half the cereal mixture into the prepared pan. Press down evenly with a greased spatula or buttered hands. Scatter blueberries and raspberries over the first layer, gently pressing them into the cereal. Add remaining cereal mixture on top and press evenly.
  5. Let treats cool at room temperature for 30 minutes, or refrigerate for 15 minutes for cleaner cuts. Use parchment overhang to lift the block onto a cutting board. Slice into squares or bars with a sharp knife. Drizzle melted white chocolate over the top if desired.

Notes

For a dairy-free version, use vegan butter and dairy-free white chocolate. Most Rice Krispies are gluten-free, but check the label. Avoid wet berries to prevent sogginess. Store in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days, or freeze for up to 2 months.
