Strawberry Marshmallow Crumb Bars Version 1 Recipes

STRAWBERRY MARSHMALLOW CRUMB BARS - VERSION 2

Steps:

• Line a 9x9 casserole dish with non stick foil or parchment paper. Trust me, it makes removing from pan and slicing easier. In a small bowl, combine graham crackers and butter. Mixture does not need to be super buttery, crumbly is fine. Press mixture into bottom of casserole dish. Reserve 1/2 cup to sprinkle on top. Set aside. Whip up whipping cream with vanilla until stiff peaks, set aside. DO NOT ADD EXTRA SUGAR. In a large non-stick sauce pan, add marshmallows and milk and melt down until smooth stirring regularly. Once marshmallows are melted and smooth, remove from heat let cool for 5 - 10 minutes, stirring regularly. Once cooled fold in pureed strawberries. Mix well. Add whipped cream to strawberry marshmallow mixture. Pour marshmallow mixture into graham cracker crust. Top with reserved graham cracker mixture. Refrigerate for 2 hours or until set. Slice and serve.
