👩‍🍳 How to Make Blueberry Rice Krispies Treats

Step 1: Prepare the Pan

Line an 8×8-inch baking pan with parchment paper and lightly grease it with butter or nonstick spray.

Step 2: Melt the Marshmallows

In a large saucepan over low heat, melt the butter. Add the mini marshmallows and stir until completely smooth.

Mix in the vanilla extract and blueberry extract, if using.

Step 3: Add Color and Blueberries

If you’d like a vibrant blueberry look, stir in a few drops of blue or purple food coloring.

Fold in the crushed freeze-dried blueberries.

Step 4: Mix with the Cereal

Remove from the heat and gently stir in the Rice Krispies cereal until evenly coated.

Step 5: Press into the Pan

Transfer the mixture to the prepared pan and gently press it into an even layer using a buttered spatula or lightly greased hands.

Avoid pressing too firmly to keep the treats soft and chewy.

Step 6: Cool and Slice

Let the treats cool for about 30 minutes, then cut into squares or rectangles.

Decorate with melted white chocolate, fresh blueberries, or extra crushed freeze-dried blueberries before serving.
