Ingredients

20 cups Mini Marshmallows separated
12 tbsp Unsalted Butter separated
16 cups Rice Krispies separated
Black Gel Food Coloring
White Gel Food Coloring
Yellow Gel Food Coloring optional
White Jimmy Sprinkles

Instructions

Spray your pan with non-stick cooking spray and set it aside.
Add 5 cups marshmallows and 3 tablespoons butter to a large mixing bowl.
20 cups Mini Marshmallows, 12 tbsp Unsalted Butter
Cook for about 2 minutes over medium heat, until the butter and marshmallows are melted. Mix well.
Add about ¼ teaspoon of white gel food coloring to the marshmallow and butter mixture and stir well. This will help brighten up the off-white color of the cereal.
White Gel Food Coloring
Add 4 cups of rice cereal and mix until all the cereal is coated.
16 cups Rice Krispies
Place the mixture in the prepared pan and spread it in a layer that covers the entire bottom of the pan. Using your hand or the bottom of a measuring cup, press the layer flat.
Repeat steps 2-5 for the next layer but color it black instead of white. Press the black layer into to the pan on top of the white layer.
Black Gel Food Coloring
Repeat the steps for another white layer and another black layer, ending with the fourth layer as black.
Sprinkle the top with the white sprinkles. Cover and let rest for 4 hours or until set. Slice, serve, and enjoy!

Notes

If your black coloring produces a dark purple color rather than full black, add 3 drops or so of yellow food coloring to make it true black.
If your marshmallows are too wet, you can add a bit more cereal. If they’re too dry, melt a bit more marshmallow and butter together and mix it in.
Spray your hands with cooking spray or put a layer of parchment paper or wax paper on top when pressing the layers into the pan. It will prevent the mixture from sticking.
