Here is a cute snack you can make to help celebrate St Patrick’s Day!  Or would also be excellent for a birthday party.  So fun to make and a excellent recipe to let the kids get involved.

Here is how you can make Rainbow Rice Krispies Treats.

What you Need:

-1 package (10 oz) Regular Marshmallows

-3 tablespoons Butter or Margarine

-6 cups Rice Krispies

-Food Coloring

-9×13 greased pan

What you Do:

-Depending on how numerous colors/layers you are making, you will need to divide all of the ingredients up accordingly.  I’m using four colors.

-In large saucepan melt 1/4 butter over low heat.  Add 1/4 marshmallows and stir until completely melted.  Add one color of food coloring.  Remove from heat.

-Add 1 1/2 cups or Rice Krispies.  Stir well until coated.

-Using either a butter spatcula or wax paper, press the mixture into a 9×13 pan.

-Repeat with each color.  But you will want to wash the pan out between colors.

-Let stand for at least 15 minutes before cutting and serving.

Because we are coming up on St. Patrick’s Day I left the green on the top.  But you could even put a layer of white on top to “hide” the fact that there is a rainbow underneath until they are cut up.

This is such a fun recipe to make with the kids.  They can help count out the marshmallows or cups of rice krispies.  Also excellent way to reinforce colors with the little ones.

Enjoy!
