Ingredients
Instructions
-
In a large saucepan, melt the butter over low heat.
-
Add the mini marshmallows to the melted butter, stirring continuously until the marshmallows are completely melted and well combined with the butter.
-
Remove the saucepan from the heat and gradually stir in the crispy rice cereal. Mix until the cereal is evenly coated with the marshmallow mixture.
-
Divide the mixture into three equal parts in separate bowls. Leave one portion as is, as this will be the white layer.
-
Add a few drops of orange food coloring to one bowl of the mixture and stir until the color is evenly distributed. This will be the orange layer.
-
Add a few drops of yellow food coloring to another bowl of the mixture and mix well until the color is uniform. This will be the yellow layer.
-
Press the white layer into the bottom of a greased 9x13-inch baking dish, using a spatula to smooth it out evenly.
-
Next, layer the orange mixture on top of the white layer, pressing down gently to create a solid layer.
-
Finish by adding the yellow mixture on top of the orange layer, gently pressing it down to form the final layer.
-
Allow the Candy Corn Rice Crispy Treats to set at room temperature for about 30 minutes or until firm.
-
Once set, cut the treats into squares or triangles, resembling candy corn shapes.
-
Serve and enjoy these delightful, colorful treats with your family and friends!
