Total Time 35 minutes
Servings 16

Ingredients

  • 10 cups Marshmallows
  • 15 cups Rice Krispies A large box should do
  • Cooking spray
  • 9x13 pan
  • Food coloring
  • Egg shaped cookie cutter
  • Wax paper

Instructions

  1. Spray your 9x13 pan generously with cooking spray
  2. Add 2 cups marshmallows and 2 tbs of butter to a saucepan and heat up until melty and gooey . Then add the *secret ingredient*…a splash of almond extract. YUMMY YUM YUM!
  3. Add 5-6 drops of food coloring to the bubbly, marshmallow mixture, then remove from heat.
  4. Add 3 cups of rice Krispies to a mixing bowl and then transfer the marshmallow mixture and mix allllll together
  5. Dump the Krispie/mallow mixture into the bottom of the cake pan and spread out (as best as you can) with a spatula. Then use a piece of wax paper (the size of the cake pan) to press down and spread out the layer of Krispies. Push down just a little so that it creates a dense, lovely layer of gooey goodness! :)

  6. Repeat steps 2-5 to create FIVE full layers of color.

  7. Loosen the edges of the Krispies with a knife, turn pan over and then pop the Krispies onto a cutting board.

  8. Cut the Krispies into about 1-1.5 inch strips, the width of the pan (I found using a bread knife worked best). Lay 2 slices of the Krispies flat and push the long ends together to make a “wider” Krispy.

  9. Cut the Krispies with the egg shaped cookie cutter and eat AS MANY as your little heart needs! OR bring some to your neighbors to make them LOVE YOU! :)

Recipe Notes

  • I did one of the layers as “natural” crispy without food coloring….I loved the contrast it gave :)
  • If you love your krispies extra gooey, feel free to add in MORE marshmallows to your mixture in step 2.
  • After you spread out each layer with the spatula, let the mixture cool for just a minute so that when you press down with the wax paper, the Krispies are less likely to stick to the wax paper.
