Ingredients

• 9 cups Rice Krispies cereal
• 15 cups Mini marshmallows
• 6 tablespoons Unsalted butter
• 1.5 teaspoons Vanilla extract
• 2 tablespoons Unsweetened cocoa powder
• 1 tablespoon Strawberry gelatin mix
• 3 drops Pink food coloring (optional)
• 0.5 cup Chocolate chips (optional, for garnish)
• 0.25 cup Freeze-dried strawberries (optional, for garnish)

Directions

Step 1

Grease a 3-layer 6-inch cake pan set (or any 6-inch round pans you have) with non-stick spray and line the bottoms with parchment paper for easy removal.

Step 2

In a large microwave-safe bowl, melt 5 cups of mini marshmallows and 2 tablespoons of butter in the microwave in 30-second intervals, stirring well between each session, until fully melted and smooth.

Step 3

Stir in 1 teaspoon of vanilla extract and gradually fold in 3 cups of Rice Krispies cereal until well combined.

Step 4

Press this mixture firmly and evenly into one of the prepared pans to form the vanilla layer. Set aside.

Step 5

Repeat the melting process in another large bowl: melt 5 cups of mini marshmallows and 2 tablespoons of butter. Stir in 2 tablespoons of unsweetened cocoa powder for the chocolate layer. Fold in 3 cups of Rice Krispies cereal until well combined.

Step 6

Press the chocolate mixture into another prepared pan, smoothing it out evenly. Set aside.

Step 7

For the strawberry layer, melt 5 cups of mini marshmallows and 2 tablespoons of butter in a third large bowl. Stir in 1 tablespoon of strawberry gelatin mix and optional pink food coloring until well incorporated. Fold in the remaining 3 cups of Rice Krispies cereal.

Step 8

Press the strawberry mixture into the final prepared pan. Set aside to cool for at least 15 minutes, or until the layers are firm.

Step 9

Carefully remove the layers from the pans and stack them, starting with the chocolate layer on the bottom, the vanilla layer in the middle, and the strawberry layer on top.

Step 10

Optional: Garnish the top with chocolate chips and crushed freeze-dried strawberries for extra flair.

Step 11

Slice and serve immediately, or store in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days.
