Cranberry Brown Sugar Crispie Treats

  • Author: by Mary
  • Prep Time: 5 mins
  • Cook Time: 20 mins
  • Total Time: 25 minutes

Ingredients

Units Scale
  • 3 Tbsp butter (plus more for pan)
  • 1 cup fresh cranberries, roughly chopped
  • 2 Tbsp brown sugar
  • 1 bag (10 oz) marshmallows
  • 6 cups puffed rice cereal

Instructions

  1. Butter a 9x13 baking dish and set aside.
  2. In a large saucepan over medium heat, melt the butter. Add the chopped cranberries. They will soften and become more liquid. Keep cooking until they've reduced a bit into a thicker mixture — about 10 minutes.
  3. Add the brown sugar, stir to incorporate, then add he marshmallows.
  4. Stir the marshmallows into the cranberry mixture and continue cooking until they've fully melted into a homogenous goop.
  5. Remove from heat and carefully mix in the cereal. Once it is entirely coated, pour into the prepared pan. With wax paper, or buttered hands, press the mixture firmly into the pan.
  6. Allow to cool completely before cutting.
