Instructions

Grease an 8 x 8 inch cake pan with butter and line it with parchment paper.

Add freeze dried berries to a food processor and blend until they become a coarse powder.

Melt butter in a large pot or Dutch oven on medium-low heat, about 1 to 2 minutes.

Add marshmallows, reduce heat to low, and cook until smooth (about 3 to 4 minutes) stirring occasionally with a silicone spatula or spoon. Be patient, you don’t want the marshmallows to caramelize or burn.

Remove from heat and mix in the vanilla and the salt, then stir in the powdered freeze dried fruit until fully incorporated.

Mix in the cereal, being sure to do so quickly before the marshmallows cool too much.

Pour the marshmallow cereal mixture into the prepared pan and lightly press into an even layer. You can do this with your hands, a spoon, or a piece of parchment paper placed on top of the marshmallow treats.

Cut these treats into large squares or bite-sized snacks and serve at room temperature.

Tips & Tricks (5)

Butter Temperature Control 🧈
Melt butter over medium-low heat and let it cool for 1-2 minutes before adding marshmallows to prevent them from deflating, ensuring a fluffy, even texture throughout your treats.
Freeze-Dried Berry Integration 🫐
Crush freeze-dried berries into smaller pieces and fold them in during the last 30 seconds of mixing to distribute flavor evenly without breaking down the marshmallow structure.
Cereal Ratio Balance 🥣
Use a 1:1 ratio of Fruity Pebbles to crisped rice cereal—this prevents the treats from becoming too heavy or candy-like while maintaining the classic crispy-chewy texture.
Quick Setting Technique ⏱️
Butter your pan generously and press the mixture while it's still warm using a buttered spatula in quick, light motions rather than heavy pressure to create an airy, tender final product.
Parchment Lining Strategy 📋
Line your pan with parchment paper extending beyond the edges, allowing you to lift the entire slab out and cut clean, beautiful squares without any sticking or waste.
