Looking for unique rice Krispie treats? Try ube rice krispies! Ube, puffed rice cereal and marshmallows come together for a fun, chewy and delightfully purple snack.
Thoroughly grease a 9x13 baking dish and set aside.
In a large bowl, melt butter for 1 minute on high. Continue to heat in 10 second increments until fully melted.
Add marshmallows and microwave on high for 2 minutes or until the marshmallows become very, very soft (but not completely melted). Watch carefully — the marshmallows will puff up. And watch that the bottom of your bowl doesn’t get too hot. After 2 minutes and you think they need to be heated more, do so in 10 second increments.
Add ube extract and salt then stir until the marshmallows are fully melted, and the mixture is smooth and incorporated.
Add rice krispies about 2 cups at a time and stir until evenly blended.
Add mini marshmallows and stir to combine.
Transfer to your prepared baking dish and — using slightly oiled hands — spread the mixture evenly while gently pressing down.
Allow to set for at least an hour on your counter before slicing into squares.

Notes
The yield depends on how big or small you slice your rice krispies. The estimated nutritional information is based on 24 squares.
Use greased spoons (or a greased spatula) to make the mixture easier to stir.
Avoid pressing the mixture too firmly into your pan. The more firmly packed they are, the tougher they get.
