Candy Corn Rice Krispie Treats

I love home made rice Krispie treats so I knew I had to put a Halloween twist on them.

Ingredients:

• Rice Krispie Crereal
• Butter
• Mini Marshmallows
• Red food coloring
• Yellow food coloring
• White food coloring (optional)

Directions:

• In a medium saucepan, melt the butter over low heat
• Add the marshmallows and stir into the butter until completed melted
• Transfer about half the marshmallow mixture to a large mixing bowl
• Add 10 drops of yellow food coloring and mix well
• Add 3 cups of cereal and mix well
• Butter your hands or use wax paper to press the mixture firmly into a ring around the outer edge of the pan
• Transfer most of the remaining marshmallow mixture to a large mixing bowl and add about 10 drops of yellow and 6 drops of red food coloring and mix well
• Add 2 1/2 cups cereal and mix well
• Butter your hands or use wax paper to press the mixture firmly into a ring around the outer edge of the pan leaving the middle empty
• Add 1 c of cereal to the remaining marshmallow mixture
• Butter your hands or use wax paper to press the mixture firmly into a ring around the outer edge of the pan leaving the middle empty
• Allow to cool completely
• Lift out the entire treat and cut into triangular pieces

I always like to add extra marshmallows but I will say that it makes the Rice Krispies a lot softer and harder to move. I like to put these in bags and hand them out to the family and neighbors.
