0 Set oven to warm, or to 150 degrees F. After greasing a large bowl with butter, pour in the rice krispy cereal and place in the oven. The cereal will begin to warm while you start on the marshmallow fluff making it easier to mix later in this process!
1 In a small bowl, mix gelatin, 2 tbsp water, and vanilla with a fork.
9 Combine the sugar, water, corn syrup, and salt in a pot. Turn on the stove to medium-high and heat until bubbling. Continue to cook without stirring until the mixture reaches 250 degrees Fahrenheit. 
3 Pour the hot syrup into the bowl of your stand mixer and cool until your thermometer reads 212 degrees. Add the gelatin mixture into the sugar syrup and mix with the whisk attachment on low speed to combine. Once homogenous, increase the speed to medium-high and continue whisking until the syrup is thick and glossy. This should take 5-8 minutes. 
4 Grease your 8x8 pan while you wait for the marshmallow fluff to finish mixing. 
5 Add strawberry powder and softened butter to the marshmallow fluff and whisk to combine. 
6 Grab the warmed cereal from the oven and pour your strawberry marshmallow fluff into the bowl with the cereal. Using a spatula sprayed with oil, fold the cereal into the marshmallow fluff gently until combined.
7 Transfer the mixture into your prepared pan and sprinkle the dehydrated strawberries on top, gently pressing to the top of the rice krispie treats. Cover with plastic wrap and allow to rest and ingredients to cool/firm for 1-2 hours. 
8 Cut into pieces using a serrated knife. Wrap leftovers in plastic wrap and store for 3-5 days!
