Ingredients
- ¼ cup black sesame seeds powdered
- ¼ cup honey
- 3 tbsp butter melted
- 1 bag marshmallows 10 oz
- 6 cups Rice Krispie cereal
Instructions
- Line a 9x9 baking dish with parchment paper.
- First make the black sesame paste. Toast the black sesame seeds for 10-20 seconds until you can smell a toasted aroma coming from the seeds. Use a spice grinder or food processor to break down the sesame seeds into powder. Mix the black sesame powder with honey. Set aside.
- Melt butter over medium heat. Add in the black sesame paste and marshmallows. Mix until everything is well incorporated.
- Pour the black sesame marshmallow mixture into a large mixing bowl with the Rice Krispie cereal. Mix until the cereal is well coated.
- Put the rice krispie treats into the 9x9 baking dish and press down with a spatula so the rice krispie treats are distributed evenly. Set aside and let cool for 10 minutes before serving.

Notes
- This recipe can be made gluten free by using gluten free rice krispies cereal.
- I would highly recommend using a spice grinder because it results in finer black sesame powder.
- These rice krispie treats can be stored in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days.
