The wonderful aromas of summer and strawberry shortcake are captured in this popular rice cereal bar. In this recipe, we've reduced the amount of marshmallows (and thus the sugar) and added a touch of almond butter and freeze-dried strawberries for a healthier dessert.

The recipes use measuring containers with the following volumes:
1 glass (st.) - 250 ml.
3/4 cup (st.) - 180 ml.
2/3 cup (st.) - 160 ml.
1/2 cup (st.) - 125 ml.
1/3 cup (st.) - 80 ml.
1/4 cup (st.) - 60 ml.
1 tablespoon (tbsp) - 15 ml.
1 teaspoon (tsp) - 5 ml.
1/5 teaspoon (tsp) - 1 ml.

Ingredients for the recipe:

3 tablespoons unsalted butter
2 cups mini marshmallows
A pinch of coarse salt
1/4 cup almond paste
0.5 tsp vanilla extract
4 cups rice flakes (breakfast cereal)
1 and 1/4 cups freeze-dried strawberries (about 20 g), chopped
0.5 tbsp. white chocolate granules

Ingredient Substitution Suggestions

We recommend

Recipes with similar ingredients: dried strawberries, puffed rice, dry breakfast, chocolate chips (granules), almond paste, marshmallow

Cooking the dish according to the recipe:

Spray an 8-inch square baking pan and a wooden spoon with cooking spray.
In a medium saucepan over medium heat, melt the butter. Add the marshmallows and salt and stir with a prepared spoon until the marshmallows are completely melted, about 2 minutes. Stir in the almond paste and vanilla.

Add the oats and strawberries and stir. Remove from heat and let cool slightly for a few minutes. Stir in the white chocolate chips. They will melt slightly. Try spraying your hands with cooking spray before placing the dessert into the pan to prevent it from sticking..
Transfer the mixture to the prepared pan and smooth it out. Let it set at room temperature for about 20 minutes. Cut into 9 bars. Store at room temperature in a tightly sealed container for up to 2 days..

Note

Freeze-dried strawberries have a rich berry flavor and a pleasant crunch. Look for them in the nuts and dried fruit aisle at the supermarket.
