Since St. Patricks day is coming up, I decided to make this simple treat using Fruity Pebbles. Since the holiday involves rainbows, this colorful cereal was the perfect ingredient. As I was thinking about this treat, and how easy krispy rice treats are to make, I decided to go the extra mile to give it a little more pizzazz. Thats when this simple treat became a lot less simple. I decided to separate the fruity pebbles into individual colors, and layer them in rainbow order. Seems cool right? Well, Hours later, I had barely made a dent in the bag.Therefore, I would not recommend this method.
Rather than spending so much time separating colors to make a rainbow, you can make the treats with all the colors mixed together-or use food dye to color regular krispy rice.
Krispy Rice Treats
3 tbsp butter or margarine
1 package (10 oz.) Marshmallows
6 cups Krispy Rice cereal of choice
- In saucepan melt butter over low heat, add marshmallows and stir until completely melted. (can heat in microwave as well)
- Stir in cereal until well coated.
- Using buttered spatula, press evenly into 13x9 pan.
* For rainbow treats, separate mixture evenly into 6 bowls. Add food coloring to each bowl. Layer each color in pan
~or~be ridiculous like me, and spend hours upon hours separating fruity pebbles.
Oh yes I did.
It was not one of my brightest ideas although, it seemed like a good idea at the time.
