I fell in love with these little Krispies right away! They not only taste great but look so cute! Don't you agree? They would be another perfect treat for Valentine's Day.
If you like Rice Krispie treats, then you will definitely have to try these. The combination of strawberry, marshmallow, and chocolate can't be beat.
I first came across this recipe through the blog, Shugary Sweets. Here is a link to her post.
Since it is layered, you prepare each layer separately starting with the bottom (chocolate recipe) and moving up from there.
Here is the breakdown of the recipe:
Ingredients:
- 1/4 cup unsalted butter
- 10 oz bag mini marshmallows
- 1/4 cup unsweetened baking cocoa
- 5 1/2 cup rice Krispies cereal
- 1/4 cup unsalted butter softened
- 1 cup powdered sugar
- 1 jar (7 oz) marshmallow cream
- 2 tsp milk
- 1/4 cup unsalted butter
- 10 oz bag mini marshmallows
- 0.3oz package sugar-free strawberry gelatin mix
- 5 1/2 cup rice Krispies cereal
Instructions:
- Line a 13×9 baking dish with foil. Spread about 1 tablespoon butter in bottom of the pan. Set aside.
- In a large saucepan, melt butter over medium heat. Add marshmallows and stir constantly until smooth. Remove from heat and stir in cocoa powder. Fold in cereal and mix until fully combined. Spread in bottom of baking dish, pressing very gently. Set aside.
- In a large mixing bowl, beat butter with powdered sugar, marshmallow cream and milk. Beat for about 3 minutes until smooth. Spread evenly over the chocolate layer in the baking dish. Set aside.
- In a large saucepan, melt butter over medium heat. Add marshmallows and stir constantly until melted and smooth. Remove from heat. Mix in the strawberry gelatin powder until combined. Fold in cereal. Spread gently over marshmallow layer. Cover with plastic wrap and allow to set, about one hour.
- Cut into desired pieces.
So I wouldn't eat all of these myself, I packaged up a bunch to send to school with Grant for his birthday treat.
A little tag on the package and they were ready for school delivery.
Let me know if you try these and what you think of them!
To life feeling like home!

The Sunday Letter
Most Sundays, once the house has gone quiet and it's edging towards nine, a letter goes out. It's the one I'd write to a friend with good taste and not nearly enough time: one thing worth reading, one thing worth buying, and one thing to skip. No noise, no pressure to spend, just the considered version of what I've actually been using, loving, or quietly sending back.
If you like the sort of recommendation that still holds up six months later, leave your email below and I'll write to you on Sunday.
