How to Make Fancy Berry Rice Krispies Treats

Years ago, on a beautiful summer day, Merri Ann and I hiked up a rocky canyon in the Big Hole Mountains. I packed the lunch and since she is gluten free, I made Rice Krispies Treats.  Instead of marshallows only for the filling, I added seedless marionberry jam.  We've been doctoring Rice Krispies Treats every since.

Instead of jam, you use pastry filling. Pastry filling has more flavor and, ounce-for-ounce, costs less then premium jam.

Choose a pastry filling here.

These treats have extra miniature marshmallows pressed into the tops of the treats while they are still warm. Candies or cake decorations can also be added.

After the treats have cooled, butter the sides of a cookie cutter and cut into shapes. They don't have to be heart shaped--say little bunnies for the kids.  Or let the kids help with holiday treats at Christmas.

Ingredients

Directions

Butter a 9 x 13-inch baking pan.

1. In a large pan on the stovetop, melt the butter over low heat. Add the marshmallows. Stir until the mixture is melted and smooth. Add the jam and stir. If the marshmallow and jam mixture is not flavorful enough, add some strawberry flavor. If it is not pink enough, add some color.
2. Add the rice cereal. Stir until the cereal is uniformly combined with the marshmallow mixture.
3. Remove the mixture to the buttered pan. Evenly distribute the mixture and press it down into the pan with buttered fingers, a piece of waxed paper, or a spatula. Let cool and cut into squares.

Baker’s note: If you use a large enough pan, you can mix the treats right in the pan, not in a bowl. The hot pan makes it a little easier to stir the mixture together, and there is less clean-up.
