Directions

1. Prepare the Fruit Powder Mixture:

   In a small container with a lid, combine the Strawberry Spruits and Banana Spruits. Seal the container and shake well until the powders are evenly mixed. Set aside.

2. Melt the Butter and Marshmallows:

   In a large non-stick pot, melt the butter over low heat. Add the marshmallows, stirring constantly, and allow them to melt completely. Be careful to avoid burning—watch for slight browning but do not let them scorch.

   
   

3. Add the Fruit Powder:

   Remove the pot from heat and immediately sprinkle in the strawberry-banana powder mixture. Stir quickly to ensure the fruity flavors are evenly distributed.

   
   

4. Combine with Cereal:

   While the marshmallow mixture is still warm, add the crispy rice cereal to the pot. Stir until the cereal is thoroughly coated with the marshmallow mixture.

   
   

5. Shape the Treats:

   Transfer the mixture into an 8x8 baking pan. Use a spatula to press it down evenly, ensuring the treats are about 1 inch thick.

   

6. Cool and Cut:

   Allow the treats to cool completely at room temperature. Once cooled, cut them into 2-inch squares to yield 16 pieces.

   
   

7. Serve and Enjoy:

   Enjoy these fruity, crispy treats as a fun dessert or snack. Store any leftovers in an airtight container to keep them fresh!
