Ingredients
Scale
- 6 cups Rice Krispies cereal
- 1 package (10 oz) marshmallows
- 3 tbsp unsalted butter
- 1/2 cup blueberry preserves or blueberry jam
- 1/4 tsp vanilla extract
- A pinch of salt (optional, for balance)
- 1/2 cup fresh blueberries (optional, for added texture)
Instructions
- Line a 9×9-inch baking pan with parchment paper or lightly grease it with butter or cooking spray.
- In a large pot, melt the butter over medium heat. Once melted, add the marshmallows and stir until completely melted and smooth.
- Remove the pot from heat and immediately stir in the Rice Krispies cereal until evenly coated with the marshmallow mixture.
- In a small microwave-safe bowl, heat the blueberry preserves in the microwave for about 20-30 seconds until it becomes slightly thinner and more spreadable.
- Pour half of the Rice Krispies mixture into the prepared pan and gently press it down into an even layer. Drizzle some of the blueberry preserves over the top, then swirl it in with a spoon or a knife.
- Add the remaining Rice Krispies mixture to the pan, pressing it gently to form an even layer. Drizzle the rest of the blueberry preserves over the top and swirl again for a marbled effect. If using fresh blueberries, sprinkle them on top at this stage.
- Allow the Rice Krispies treats to cool and set at room temperature for about 30 minutes, or until firm enough to cut into squares.
- Once cooled, cut into squares and serve. Enjoy your colorful and delicious Blueberry Swirl Rice Krispies Treats!
