Main Ingredients
- 4 cups Rice Krispies cereal
- 3 cups mini marshmallows
- 2 tablespoons unsalted butter
- 1 cup fresh blueberries
Vanilla Glaze
- 1 cup powdered sugar
- 2 tablespoons milk
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
Instructions
- Melt Marshmallows: In a large pot, melt the butter over low heat. Add mini marshmallows and stir continuously until they are fully melted and the mixture becomes smooth.
- Add Rice Krispies: Remove the pot from the heat and gently fold in the Rice Krispies cereal, coating them thoroughly with the melted marshmallow mixture.
- Fold in Blueberries: Carefully fold in the fresh blueberries to the mixture, making sure they are evenly distributed throughout to maintain their shape and freshness.
- Press into Pan: Transfer the mixture into a greased 9×9-inch baking pan. Use a spatula or your hands to press the mixture evenly into the pan for a compact, uniform layer.
- Prepare Vanilla Glaze: In a small bowl, whisk together the powdered sugar, milk, and vanilla extract until the glaze is smooth and free of lumps.
- Drizzle Glaze: Drizzle the prepared vanilla glaze evenly over the top of the pressed Rice Krispies mixture to add a sweet finishing touch.
- Cool and Set: Allow the treats to cool and set at room temperature for about 30 minutes so they firm up and the glaze adheres well.
- Cut and Serve: Once set, cut the mixture into squares, and serve as a delightful snack or dessert.
Notes
- Use fresh blueberries for the best texture and flavor; frozen berries may release too much moisture.
- Grease the pan well to prevent sticking and make it easier to remove the treats.
- Press the mixture firmly into the pan but avoid squeezing out all the air to keep the treats light and chewy.
- If you prefer a thicker glaze, add less milk or more powdered sugar to adjust the consistency.
- Store leftover treats in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days for optimal freshness.
