Strawberry Rice Crispy Treats


The inspiration for this treat began with Anthony's new obsession with Rice Crispy Treats.  I thought there has to be a better way to make this all time classic dessert a little healthier.  So I added dried strawberries and blueberries.  Anthony was my little helper he was so excited that we were making fresh football and heart shaped treats.  After you mix all the ingredients and lay it on a tray let them cool off for about 10-15 minutes.  Then you can let your little one help you make different shaped ones with cookie cutters.  This is a great quick dessert you can make with your child in no time.  

INGREDIENTS:
3 Tablespoons of butter
1 bag of Strawberry marshmallows
6 cups of rice crisp cereal
1/2 cup of dried strawberries chopped
1/2 cup of dried blueberries

METHOD:
1. Combine melted butter and marshmallows and microwave for 1 - 1-1/2 until melted
2. Add dried strawberries and blueberries to rice crispy cereal
3. Combine cereal, dried fruit and melted marshmallows
4. Press mixture into a greased baking pan or a pan lined with parchment paper
5. Let mixture cool 10-15 minutes then using a cookie cutter cut out your treats
