    The kids are headed back to school and what better way to make their day feel special than with the ultimate after school snack? Gluten Free Strawberry Shortcake Rice Krispie Treats are sure to become a family favorite.

    Gluten Free Strawberry Shortcake Rice Krispie Treats

    I love creating new takes on rice Krispie treats, such as my Gluten Free Millionaire Rice Krispie Treats. Who grew up loving the classic Good Humor Strawberry Shortcake Bars? These ooey and gooey treats give you all of the same flavors without worrying about it melting.

    A Classic with a Twist

    Move over Rice Krispie treats. Gluten Free Strawberry Shortcake Rice Krispie Treats is a fun and festive update on the ultimate nostalgic confection. Combining the childhood favorite with the flavors of the ice cream truck superstar will make this a recipe repeat.

    The base of this recipe starts with The Real Cereal Company's Real Brown Rice Crisps. This low carb, sugar free cereal not only is Gluten Free, it also only contains a single ingredient, organic brown rice. Irresistibly light, airy, and crunchy on its own, it's a great canvas for all of your rice krispie treat desserts.

    It isn't sticky, ooey gooey Rice Krispie treats without those molten and melted marshmallows. Dairy Free butter helps create the sauce that holds this confection together.

    Rounding out this simple and easy dessert is the topping that brings all of the strawberry shortcake flavor. Crushed freeze-dried strawberries are combined with Gluten Free vanilla wafer cookies. Not only does this combination give that classic frozen treat flavor, but it also adds a little extra crunchy texture to each bite.

    How to Make Gluten Free Strawberry Shortcake Rice Krispie Treats

    This universally beloved dessert is so easy it requires almost no cooking. The hardest part is waiting long enough for it to set up!
