How to make Strawberries and Cream Rice Krispie Treats

Yield: 12-16 servings
Prep: 8 min
Rest: 30 min
Total 30 mins

Step One: prepare.

Prepare your pan well for nonstick. Since this is a no-bake recipe, you can use a glass or regular non-stick pan. Also, give your microwave-safe mixing bowl a quick spray with nonstick as it will be used to melt the marshmallows in.

Step Two: make the treats.

1. In your microwave-safe container, melt the butter with the marshmallows, carefully stopping to stir every 45 seconds. However, keep in mind that you microwave may be different from mine and as a result, melting times can vary.
2. When the marshmallows begin to 'puff', you are done heating them up. Carefully remove the bowl from your microwave.
3. Next, you can stir in the cereal, strawberries, and your extract until combined.
4. After your ingredients are combined (the cereal is well incorporated) you can then transfer the ingredients to your prepared pan.
5. Lastly, you can evenly spread the mixture into your pan and thus, press it into place.

Expert Tip 👉Use the backside of a rubber spatula to help you press the mixture into the prepared pan. Greasing or spraying the spatula with a bit of nonstick can help prevent the stickiness.

Step Three: finish making the treats.

1. In a clean microwave-safe bowl or measuring cup, melt all of the pink candy melts according to the manufacturer's directions. Mine were melted stopping every 30 seconds to carefully stir.
2. Stir in coconut oil as needed for the consistency that is needed. However, do not use a lot of the coconut oil to do so.
3. Evenly distribute the pink coating over your treats. You can use a piping bag to do this or you can use a frosting knife.
4. To decorate with the white melts, like mine, you will need to melt the white melts. However, the white melts were applied to my treats using a piping bag to both melt the white melts and to decorate the treats with. Then use a skewer was used to make the lines.
5. Lastly, allow the treats to set before cutting into servings.
