Cardamom Raisin Rice Krispy Treats

I was trying to find new uses for my ground cardamom so I found and adapted a cardamom rice krispy recipe online. It's not super spicy, the spices lend more of a warmth to the rice krispy treats and the raisins add sweetness with it being too cloying.

Cardamom Raisin Rice Krispy Treats

1 bag marshmallows
3 Tablespoon butter
1 teaspoon ground cardamom
1/2 teaspoon cinnamon
1/2 teaspoon ground ginger
1/4 teaspoon salt
6 cups rice krispy cereal
1 cup golden raisins or any raisin

Microwave butter in large bowl for 30 seconds
Add marshmallows and microwave for 90 seconds, stirring halfway to combine butter and marshmallow
Stir spice/salt mix into the melted marshmallow
Stir in rice krispies
Stir in raisins
Press mix into a 9x9 plan pressing down the rice krispy mix

Hypothetical Alternative Mixins:
Diced up crystallized ginger to make it even more spicy
Lemon Zest
Coconut
Diced up dried mangos
