Candy Corn Rice Krispie Treats

 
Happy Halloween! No tricks today, but I do have a treat for y'all- candy corn Rice Krispies!
I love Rice Krispie treats, so when I saw this, from Chief in Training, I knew I had to make it. Cute right? It is also a very simple recipe, but very sticky!

When transferring the colored mixtures from the bowls to the pan, I learned that if your hands are damp that the mixture will not stick to your hands (too much). The tips of the candy corn didn't turn out as white as I hoped, mainly because I melted the marshmallows a little too long so it lost a little of its white color I am assuming because of the butter. Still turned out cute though! So, if you need a little treat for your day of Halloween fun, this is a quick, simple, and yummy treat to go along with your tricks.

Ingredients

1/4 cup butter

10 oz bag of marshmallows

7 cups Rice Krispies cereal

Food coloring

Directions

In a large microwave safe bowl, melt butter for about 45 seconds. Pour in marshmallows and stir to coat evenly. Place back in microwave and heat in 30 second intervals, stirring in between each interval until marshmallows have melted. Separate melted marshmallow into three separate bowls (large enough for rice krispie cereal). Separate the melted marshmallow into big, medium and small amounts, basically a 3:2:1 ratio. In the largest melted marshmallow amount, stir in some yellow food coloring until desired color. Stir in 3 1/2 cups Rice Krispie cereal until evenly mixed. In the medium amount of melted marshmallow, stir in orange food coloring (may need to mix yellow and red) until desired color is reached and stir to evenly combined. Stir in 2 1/2 cups of Rice Krispie cereal until evenly mixed. Stir in 1 cup of Rice Krispie cereal into the small amount of marshmallow until evenly mixed in. Grease a 9 inch cake pan. From the center of the pan, press the yellow section along the outside of the pan into a circle shape. Then press the orange section inside of the yellow to form a circle shape. Place the small section in the center and press down until remaining whole is filled. Let cool and form shape. Cut into eight pieces.
