I have to agree with the others, the strawberry part was runny and gross, I followed the directions exactly. What a waste, they looked really nice, but no one would eat them, I ended up throwing more than three quarters of this out.

Made it as described but the strawberry part was too runny and didnt seem to taste right but if made with food coloring only instead of the strawberry I think it would be fine.

These were excellent, but I stopped following the directions to melt the marshmallows on the stove after the first layer and used the microwave as I usually do for rice krispie treats. It made the whole recipe much quicker to complete. I plan on doing these with the strawberry layer, the regular layer, and a layer with blueberry preserves for the 4th of July.

Everyone loved these treats - though I did NOT use the perserves and instead used strawberry marshmellows. Turned out great.

My daughter made these as a 4-H Creative Food entry for the county fair and got a purple ribbon (1st place.) They were delicious and the judge was very impressed with the twist on the traditional krispy treats. She didn't have any problem with the strawberry preserves.

Disappointed. I have made this recipe twice, each time the strawberry mixture is too liquidy, and unappetizing.
