Ingredients Equipment Method Notes

Ingredients
  

  • 6 cups corn syrup or light corn syrup
  • 3 cups white sugar
  • 1/2 cup unsalted butter
  • 8 oz strawberry flavored marshmallows
  • 4 cups regular crispy rice cereal
  • 2 cups strawberry marshmallows

Equipment

  • Large saucepan
  • Rubber spatula
  • 9x13 inch baking pan
  • Parchment paper
  • Measuring cups
  • Cooking spray

Method
 

  1. Line the baking pan with parchment paper and lightly spray with cooking spray to prevent sticking.
  2. Combine the corn syrup, white sugar, and butter in a large saucepan over medium heat.
    6 cups corn syrup
  3. Stir continuously with a rubber spatula until the mixture begins to boil and the sugar fully dissolves, about 5 minutes. Watch for bubbling around the edges and a consistent boil.
  4. Add the strawberry marshmallows to the hot syrup mixture, stirring constantly until melted and smooth, which should take 3-4 minutes. The mixture will turn pink and glossy.
    6 cups corn syrup
  5. Remove the saucepan from heat. Immediately add the regular crispy rice cereal and strawberry marshmallows, folding gently to evenly coat the cereal and incorporate the additional marshmallows without crushing.
    6 cups corn syrup
  6. Pour the mixture into the prepared pan, spreading evenly with a spatula. Press down gently to compact the mixture into an even layer. Allow to cool at room temperature for at least 30 minutes before cutting into squares.

Notes

Ensure that the marshmallows are fully melted to avoid lumps. Use a buttered spatula for easier spreading. For a more intense strawberry flavor, incorporate a few drops of strawberry extract into the mixture.
