Guava Rice Krispie Treats with Maria Cookies
Deliciously sweet treats made with crispy rice cereal, guava marmalade marshmallow cream, cubes of guava paste and crumbled Maria cookies!
Ingredients
- 3 tablespoons unsalted butter
- 10 ounces mini marshmallows
- 1/3 cup guava marmalade
- 6 cups rice cereal
- 7 ounces guava paste, cubed
- 8 Maria cookies, or tea biscuits, crumbled
Instructions
- Prep all your ingredients before starting the recipe because this recipe moves fast.
- Line a 9x13 pan with parchment paper. Spray with cooking spray. Set aside. This will help with cutting and removing the squares from the pan later.
- In a saucepan, melt butter over low heat. Add the marshmallows, then stir consistently until melted.*
- Remove from the heat. Stir in the guava marmalade with the melted marshmallows until the mixture turns a pinkish-red color.
- Carefully mix in the rice cereal, cubes of guava paste, and crumbled Maria cookies with the melted marshmallows. Stir until all is well combined.
- Transfer the mixture into the pan, gently pressing down into an even layer. You can spray a spatula with cooking spray (or your hands) to press down the mixture.
- After 30 minutes once the mixture has cooled completely at room temperature, cut into squares. Enjoy!
Notes
*TIP: You can also microwave the butter and marshmallows for 2 minutes on HIGH, then stir until melted.
Storage: After 2 days at room temperature, wrap each square in plastic wrap and freeze them in a freezer bag. Thaw at room temperature or pop one in the microwave unwrapped for 10 seconds.
