Ingredients
Scale
- 10 ounces mini marshmallows (1 bag)
- ¼ cup butter
- 6 cups Rice Krispie cereal
- ½ cup white candy melts
- ½ cup pink candy melts
- ½ cup purple candy melts
- ½ cup blue candy melts
- ½ cup orange candy melts
- ½ cup green candy melts
- ½ cup yellow candy melts
- Edible marker
- 1–2 tablespoons shortening (if needed)
Instructions
- In a large saucepan, melt the butter over medium heat. Once melted, add the mini marshmallows and stir until fully melted and smooth.
- Remove the saucepan from the heat and quickly add the Rice Krispie cereal. Stir until evenly coated.
- Press the mixture into a greased 9×13-inch baking dish, using a spatula to gently flatten and pack the mixture.
- Let the Rice Krispie treat mixture cool completely in the dish.
- In separate microwave-safe bowls, melt each candy melt color (white, pink, purple, blue, orange, green, and yellow) in the microwave in 20-30 second intervals, stirring in between. Add shortening if the melts are too thick.
- Once the treats have cooled, drizzle each candy melt color over the Rice Krispie treats, creating colorful stripes or patterns.
- Use an edible marker to draw hearts, initials, or messages on top of the treats if desired.
- Let the candy coating harden before cutting the treats into squares or fun shapes with cookie cutters.
- Serve and enjoy!
Notes
- You can adjust the colors of the candy melts to fit any occasion by switching up the colors.
- If the candy melts are too thick, add a small amount of shortening to thin them out.
