Had some leftover marshmallows and wanted to use them up rather than let them go stale. Decided a half batch of this dish would make a great treat for the kids in the family. My combination of fruit included dried cherries, cranberries and apricots which I chopped myself. I also added 1/4 cup chopped almonds and used almond extract to echo that flavor. The bars have not yet been served but my nibble from the spoon -- you know the bits that stick -- were delightful.

What a nice change! I've never added anything (other than a sprinkling of chocolate chips) to rice krispie square so this was deff something new! I used multi colored marshmallows which melted to a pinky-orangey color and used craisins for the dried fruit. Will be making this again soon!

Very good - I made them exactly as stated in the recipe. Great quick and easy recipe! Made for Aussie/NZ Recipe Swap 20.

We loved these! I used raspberry flavoured marshmallows with sultanas and cranberries for the dried fruit. They were light as air an yummy. Next time I think I'll use just the cranberries and raspberry flavoured marshmallows for a light pink treat. Thanks Sydney Mike! Pictures to follow.

DD (almost 3) and I made these this weekend. They turned out great. Although she had fun picking out the raisins and dried cranberries and eating them. I used leftover colored marshmellows from easter so they came out a nice pink color.
