Ingredients
  

For the Base

  • ½ cup Freeze-Dried Strawberries (roughly chopped) Ensures bursts of berry sweetness.

  • ½ cup Semi-Sweet Chocolate Used for drizzling.
For Extra Flavor
  • 1 teaspoon Vanilla Extract Omit for a cleaner taste.

Equipment

  • 9x9-inch baking pan
  • Heavy-bottomed pot
  • Spatula
  • Microwave-safe bowl

Method
 

Step-by-Step Instructions
  1. Start by lining a 9x9 inch baking pan with parchment paper, ensuring it overhangs the edges for easy removal. Lightly grease with butter.
  2. In a heavy-bottomed pot, melt 4 tablespoons of unsalted butter over low heat. Stir continuously to evenly distribute heat.
  3. Gradually stir in 10 ounces of mini marshmallows until fully melted, about 2 to 3 minutes, until glossy and lump-free.
  4. Remove from heat and whisk in ½ cup of cocoa powder, ¼ cup of pulverized strawberries, a splash of vanilla, and a pinch of salt.
  5. Gently fold in 6 cups of crisped rice cereal and ½ cup of roughly chopped strawberries until everything is coated.
  6. Transfer to the prepared baking pan and press down gently but firmly to create a compact surface. Let cool for about 30 minutes.
  7. Melt ½ cup of chocolate in a microwave-safe bowl, drizzle over the cooled mixture to create a decorative finish.
  8. Allow the chocolate to set before slicing into squares or bars. Use the parchment overhang to lift them out.
