Ingredients:

  • 4 tbsp unsalted butter
  • 10 oz mini marshmallows
  • 6 cups crisped rice cereal
  • 2 drops yellow gel food coloring
  • 2 drops orange gel food coloring

Instructions:

  1. Line a 9x9 inch baking pan with parchment paper, leaving an overhang on the sides for easy removal.
  2. Place the butter in a large non-stick pot over low heat until completely melted.
  3. Stir in the marshmallows, stirring constantly until the mixture is velvety and smooth. Remove from heat immediately to prevent the sugar from overcooking.
  4. Divide the melted marshmallow mixture evenly between three medium mixing bowls.
  5. In the first bowl, stir in the yellow gel food coloring and 2 cups of crisped rice cereal.
  6. In the second bowl, stir in the orange gel food coloring and 2 cups of crisped rice cereal.
  7. In the third bowl, stir in the remaining 2 cups of crisped rice cereal, leaving the mixture white.
  8. Pour the yellow mixture into the bottom of the prepared pan and press down gently. Repeat with the orange layer, then finish with the white layer on top.
  9. Use a piece of waxed paper to press the layers down firmly without smudging the colors.
  10. Allow the treats to cool completely for 30 minutes before cutting into 16 large bars.
