WHAT YOU WILL NEED

Ingredients:

4 cups brown rice cereal
1 cup freeze dried strawberries
1/2 cup Kokada Original
4 tablespoons or 1/4 cup butter (non-dairy option)
1 1/2 cups mini marshmallows (vegan option)
1 tablespoon vanilla extract

Optional Toppings:

1-2 tablespoons Kokada Original
1-2 tablespoons freeze dried strawberries

INSTRUCTIONS

Line an 8×8 pan with parchment paper. Let some hang over the sides so that it is easy to lift out.
In a large bowl, add the brown rice cereal and freeze dried strawberries. You can gently crush them with your hand so that there are smaller pieces.
In a small saucepan on medium low heat add the Kokada Original and butter. Stir until melted.
Reduce the heat to low and add the marshmallows. Gently fold them into the Kokada and butter mixture just until they are just melted.
Remove from heat and add the vanilla extract. Stir to combine.
Pour the Kokada and marshmallow mixture over the brown rice cereal and strawberries.
Use a rubber spatula to gently fold it in until all the cereal is coated.
Press into the prepared 8×8 pan. You can use the spatula or your hands to press down.
Option to drizzle additional Kokada on top (microwave for 15 seconds first) and sprinkle extra freeze dried strawberries.
Allow to cool for 1-2 hours in the refrigerator before cutting.
Store any leftovers in an airtight container in the fridge for 5-6 days.
