Instructions
 

  • Step 1: Prepare the Rice Krispies Base
  • Melt the Butter and Marshmallows
  • In a large pot, melt the butter over medium-low heat. Stir frequently to prevent burning.
  • Add the mini marshmallows, stirring until they’re completely melted and smooth.
  • Pro Tip: Keep the heat low to avoid scorching and ensure a soft texture.
  • Mix in the Rice Krispies
  • Remove the pot from heat and quickly fold in the Rice Krispies cereal.
  • Stir gently to coat the cereal evenly.
  • Incorporate the Blueberries
  • Carefully fold in the fresh blueberries. Mix gently to avoid crushing them, keeping the treats vibrant and juicy.
  • Step 2: Shape the Mixture
  • Prepare the Pan
  • Lightly grease a 9x9-inch pan or line it with parchment paper.
  • Press the Mixture
  • Transfer the Rice Krispies mixture into the pan.
  • Use a greased spatula or your hands to press it evenly into place. Don’t press too hard—let those blueberries shine!
  • Cool and Set
  • Allow the mixture to cool at room temperature for about 30 minutes.
  • Step 3: Make the Vanilla Glaze
  • In a small bowl, whisk together powdered sugar, milk, and vanilla extract.
  • If the glaze is too thick, add more milk, one teaspoon at a time, until smooth and pourable.
  • Step 4: Decorate and Serve
  • Drizzle the Glaze
  • Use a spoon or piping bag to drizzle the glaze over the cooled treats.
  • Set the Glaze
  • Let the glaze set for 10-15 minutes.
