Ingredients

Roasted Pretzels

  • 2 heaping cups pretzels, regular or gluten free
  • 6 tbsp unsalted butter, melted
  • 2 tbsp granulated sugar

Strawberry Pretzel Marshmallow Treats

  • 1/2 cup (112g) unsalted butter + more for coating
  • 1 10oz bag mini marshmallows + 1 additional cup (optional)
  • 1/2 tsp vanilla extract
  • 1/4 tsp kosher salt
  • 2 1/2 cups (75g) crispy rice cereal, use gluten free if needed
  • 3/4 cup (18g) freeze dried strawberries, roughly crushed
  • Roasted pretzels

Instructions

Roasted Pretzels

  1. Preheat the oven to 400F and line a large baking sheet with parchment paper.
  2. Place the pretzels in a ziplock bag and crush using a rolling pin or similar blunt object.
  3. Transfer to a bowl and mix with melted butter and sugar.
  4. Spread the pretzels on the baking pan and bake for 8-10 minutes or until they turn a deep golden color.
  5. When they’re fresh from the oven, toss on the baking sheet to ensure the pretzels are still evenly coated in the butter. They’ll appear wet at first, but will harden and crisp up as they cool. 

Strawberry Pretzel Marshmallow Treats

  1. Butter the entire inside of an 8×8 baking pan and set aside.
  2. In a large bowl, combine the cereal, strawberries, pretzels, and extra 1 cup of marshmallows if using.
  3. In a large pot over medium heat, melt the butter and 10 oz of marshmallows.
  4. Once smooth and melted, remove from heat and stir in the vanilla and salt.
  5. Pour the bowl of dry mix into the marshmallow mixture and gently fold to coat.
  6. Scoop the marshmallow treat mix into the baking pan and press tight and even. It helps to spritz your hands with some nonstick spray and then pat everything smooth. 
  7. Allow the treats to cool at room temperature for about an hour, then slice and enjoy!
