Course: Dessert
Cuisine: American

Ingredients

  • 8 Tbsp butter (1 stick)
  • 2 Pkgs 10 oz. mini-marshmallows
  • 9 cups rice krispies cereal
  • red & blue food coloring

Instructions

  • In a large pan, melt butter and add marshmallows. Stirring until they're melted.
  • Separate marshmallow mixture into 3 separate bowls.
  • In the first, add blue food coloring and stir to combine. Add 3 cups of cereal and stir until sticky. Layer into a 9x13 pan, pressing until there are no gaps or holes. (See Note)
  • In the next bowl, add 3 cups of cereal. This will be the white layer, so no food coloring. Press on top of the blue layer. *Microwave the marshmallow mixture if it isn't pliable.
  • Last, add red food coloring to the marshmallow mixture (microwave if it has set up too much). Add 3 cups of cereal and combine. Press this layer on top of the white layer.
  • Let the rice krispies sit for at least an hour before cutting!

Notes

If you wet your hands with water before pressing, it helps the mixture not stick to your hands!
