Makes about 40 golf ball sized pops

The trickiest part of this recipe is actually executing simultaneously two different batches of rice krispies mixture - one green tea (matcha) and one strawberry. Both need to be made at the same time.

However, once made, these are delicious to eat at a party, especially off of the stick. Loads of fun!

Step 1: Ingredients

Strawberry Rice Krispies
3 tablespoons butter
40 regular marshmallows or 4 cups mini marshmallows
1 bag (1.2 oz) freeze dried strawberries or blueberries, pulverized in a mini food processor (Trader Joe’s, Target, or Whole Foods)
6 cups rice krispies (I actually prefer the Trader Joe’s Rice Crispies - but the Kellogg’s original are good as well)

Matcha Rice Krispies
3 tablespoons butter
40 regular marshmallows or 4 cups mini marshmallows
1 tablespoons green tea/matcha powder (higher quality more intense green)
6 cups rice krispies (I actually prefer the Trader Joe’s Rice Crispies - but the Kellogg’s original are good as well)

40 lollipop sticks

Step 2: Method

Make both batches of rice krispies at the same time.

Strawberry Rice Krispies Mixture
In large saucepan melt butter over low heat. Add marshmallows and stir until completely melted. Add pulverized strawberries or blueberries. Mix quickly. Remove from heat.
Add rice krispies. Stir until well coated.

Matcha Rice Krispies Mixture
In large saucepan melt butter over low heat. Add marshmallows and stir until completely melted. Add matcha OR espresso and cocoa. Mix quickly. Remove from heat.
Add rice krispies. Stir until well coated.

Step 3: Method

Bringing it together
Once both have been made, working quickly, take a little from the matcha and a little bit from the strawberry and mold them together into a ball. Poke a lollipop stick in and mold around. Set aside to cool. Repeat as necessary.

Alternatively
Using buttered spatula or wax paper evenly press matcha mixture into 13 x 9 x 2-inch pan coated with cooking spray. After the matcha has been pressed into the pan, spread the strawberry mixture on top. Cool. Cut into 2-inch squares. Best if served the same day.
