Ingredients

  • 32 ounces miniature marshmallows 2 bags
  • 12 Tablespoons butter
  • 15 cups Rice Krispies cereal
  • Gel food coloring - red orange, yellow, green, blue, purple

Instructions

  • Prepare an 8 or 9-inch square baking pan with wax paper. Spray the top of the paper with non-stick cooking spray.
  • Add the marshmallows and butter to a large microwave-safe bowl.
    32 ounces miniature marshmallows, 12 Tablespoons butter
  • Heat in the microwave for 1 minute and then stir. Heat for another minute and stir it again. Repeat this until the melted butter and marshmallow mixture is smooth.
  • Divide the melted marshmallow mixture between six different bowls. Add enough gel food coloring to each until you get the desired color you’re looking for. Stir well to combine.

  • Fold 2 ½ cups of cereal into each bowl, until it’s coated in the marshmallow mixture.
    15 cups Rice Krispies cereal
  • Press the mixture into the prepared baking sheet in even layers using a buttered spatula. You’ll have thin layers of each color; red, orange, yellow, green, blue, purple.
  • Keep layering until you have all the layers pressed firmly together. Keep the square shape as you stack the layers. Then cool completely.
  • Lift the layered square from the baking dish using the waxed paper and place it on a cutting board. Trim up any uneven edges if you need to.
  • Cut the square in half and then slice each half in servings, approximately 1-inch thick.

Notes

For an extra special touch, you can take white candy melts, or almond bark and drizzle over the tops of the treats.
