Ingredients
Scale
Main Ingredients:
- 6 cups Rice Krispies cereal
- 4 cups mini marshmallows
- 1 cup fresh blueberries
Binding Ingredient:
- 3 tablespoons butter
Preparation Ingredient:
- 3 tablespoons butter (for greasing)
Instructions
- Warm butter gently in a spacious cooking vessel, allowing it to transform into a smooth, golden liquid without scorching.
- Introduce mini marshmallows to the melted butter, continuously stirring until they dissolve into a uniform, creamy consistency.
- Immediately remove the pot from heat source and incorporate Rice Krispies cereal, ensuring each crisp morsel becomes thoroughly enrobed in the marshmallow mixture.
- Delicately introduce fresh blueberries, tenderly folding them throughout the sticky preparation to distribute them evenly without crushing the delicate fruit.
- Transfer the mixture into a pre-greased rectangular baking vessel, using clean hands or a spatula to spread and compress the treat into an even layer, creating a uniform surface.
- Allow the confection to rest and solidify at room temperature, permitting the marshmallow binding to set and the flavors to meld together.
- Once completely cooled and stabilized, slice the treat into neat, uniform squares using a sharp knife, revealing the embedded blueberries within the crispy matrix.
Notes
- Choose fresh, plump blueberries to ensure the best flavor and texture in your treats.
- Use unsalted butter to control the salt level and prevent the treats from becoming too salty.
- For a gluten-free version, swap regular Rice Krispies with gluten-free rice cereal to accommodate dietary restrictions.
- Freeze dried blueberries can be a great alternative if fresh berries are out of season, providing intense fruit flavor without adding extra moisture.
