Neapolitan Rice Krispie Treats

I have always been a fan of Neapolitan ice cream. There is just something about the ice cream that appeals to me. That appeal also has transferred to other desserts. Anytime I see a dessert with Neapolitan in the title I also take a look at it.

When it comes to Rice Krispie treats, I am a huge fan of the traditional variety, with my modification of extra marshmallows and my Caramel Crispies. Other than that all of the other varieties I see popping up all over Pinterest have yet to intrigue me, that was until I saw Neapolitan Rice Krispie Treats.

The original recipe called crushed freeze dried strawberries added to the strawberry layer. I did not want to pay the price for those strawberries, they are not exactly budget friendly, so I left them out and added a bit more strawberry jam. The only downside to that decision is that the pink layer did not have a nice pretty pink color, which in turn made it very hard to photograph. The upside these Neapolitan Rice Krispies Treats tasted delicious.
