Raspberry Rice Krispie treats


The kids have been wanting to make these for a looong time now, and I have had a bag of Dandies vegan marshmallows reserved for this purpose for several weeks, but someone kept eating up the cereal. To be honest, I am not a huge fan of rice krispie treats (too sweet), and being a foreigner who didn't grow up on these, I don't even get nostalgic about them. Still, they did come out great. Adding some freeze-dried raspberries really balanced out the sweetness, and some chopped up dark chocolate will probably make it in the next batch we make.

4 tablespoons vegan butter
1 bag of Dandies vegan marshmallows
1 tablespoon milk of choice
1/4 tsp salt
5 1/2 cups rice krispies
a good handfull of freeze-dried raspberries

Slowly melt butter, add marshmallows and continue to heat slowly , stirring often, until melted. Stir in the milk and salt. Add the rice krispies and raspberries, and mix quickly until everything is coated. Transfer to a 9x13 pan, lined with wax paper, and use more wax paper to press the mixture down evenly into the pan. Let cool before cutting.
