These are like Rice Krispie Treats for grown-ups. The cranberries and white chocolate are a delicious compliment for each other, and they taste wonderful in the Rice Krispie Treats! Plus, they look so pretty. I’m going to make these next Christmas. They’re easy and elegant, and they’d be perfect for sharing with friends and neighbors.
Use approximately 1 teaspoon of butter to grease a 13 x 9 inch baking pan. Reserve the remaining butter to grease your hands for pressing the mixture into the pan.
Measure cereal into large mixing bowl, and add white chocolate chips and cranberries.
Over low heat, melt the butter in a heavy saucepan. Add marshmallows, turn up heat to medium, and stir constantly until melted and smooth.
Pour melted butter/marshmallow mixture over cereal, chips and berries.
Stir until completely coated.
Quickly pour into prepared pan.
Generously grease fingers with butter, and gently flatten. Allow to cool completely (for about an hour).
Cut into 24 squares.
