can I add fresh berries to desserts?

Yes! You can. However, it's important to note the shelf life is shorter when you add fresh fruit to a dessert. Refrigerate and serve within 3 days. Blueberry cereal treats are delicious, so this shouldn't be a problem. 

If you'd like your  treats to last longer, you may substitute 2 ounces of crushed, freeze-dried blueberries instead, just as we did with this delicious strawberry Rice Krispie treat recipe.

    Can’t wait to make this. Though to make it taste like my gramma’s blueberry cake, I will add a 1/2 tsp of nutmeg & a tsp of lemon extract or juice & 1/2 tsp vanilla extract. I might top with a lemon drizzle, though gramma never added the icing, only a sprinkle of sugar. I will let you know how I turns out.
