Ingredients Method Notes

Ingredients
  

  • 6 cups organic puffed brown rice cereal
  • 10 ounces plant-based marshmallows
  • 1/4 cup cultured vegan butter or coconut oil
  • 1-2 teaspoons beet root powder
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla bean paste
  • pinch of sea salt
  • 1/4 cup freeze-dried strawberries, crushed

Method
 

  1. Line your baking pan with parchment paper and lightly grease it with coconut oil.
  2. Melt the vegan butter in a large saucepan over low heat until fully melted.
  3. Stir in the plant-based marshmallows until melted and smooth, maintaining low heat.
  4. Add the vanilla bean paste, sea salt, and beet root powder, mixing until well combined.
  5. Fold in the crispy rice cereal and crushed freeze-dried strawberries until all cereal is coated.
  6. Transfer the mixture into the prepared pan and press gently to flatten.
  7. Allow to set at room temperature for 30 to 60 minutes before cutting into heart shapes.

Notes

Avoid overcooking marshmallows to keep treats soft. Use fresh cereal for crunch.
