Rice Krispie Treats

Made rice krispie pops using cake pop sticks and just adding some sprinkles! 

Made Christmas tree krispie treats

Rice krispie treats are an easy dessert that I make my 2nd daughter with dairy and eggs allergies. It's nice that you don't need many ingredients for this. Plus! You can make them into different fun shapes! I tried a watermelon shape. Fun project with kids too!  For the watermelon, you can cut it into triangles and then stick a popsicle stick in it so that it's easier for the kids to eat.


Tips I learned-

1. make sure to melt the marshmallows on low heat
2. when shaping the rice krispies into the baking pan, don't press too hard or else the rice krispie will become hard to eat.

Usual rice krispies- just combine 3.5 cups marshmallows, 2 tablespoons olive oil, and 3 cups of rice krispies.

Ingredients

Rind
• 1 1/2 Tbsp salted butter
• 2 1/2 cups miniature marshmallows
• Green food coloring (I used gel coloring)
• 2 cups rice krispies cereal
Center
• 2 Tbsp salted butter
• 3 1/2 cups miniature marshmallows
• Pink or red food coloring
• 3 cups rice krispies cereal
• 2 tsp mini chocolate chips (I used vegan chocolate chips) 

Directions

• Spray a 9-inch round cake pan with non-stick cooking spray, set aside. For the rind portion, melt 1 1/2 Tbsp butter in a medium non-stick saucepan over medium-low heat. Add in 2 1/2 cups marshmallows and green food coloring and cook and stir just until marshmallows have melted. Remove from heat and in 2 cups rice krispies, stir until evenly coat. Pour into prepared baking dish and let cool just slightly (so it's not too hot to the touch), spray hands with non-stick cooking spray and spread and press mixture around outer edge to create a rind that is no more than 1-inch thick (don't over-press so they stay nice and chewy).
• Rinse and dry saucepan then for the center portion melt 2 Tbsp butter in saucepan over medium-low heat. Add 3 1/2 cups marshmallows and pink or red food coloring and cook and stir just until fully melted. Remove from heat and stir in 3 cups rice krispies. Pour into center of cake pan and once cool enough to handle spray hands with non-stick cooking spray and spread into an even layer. Let cool then sprinkle and press chocolate chips randomly over pink portion. Cut into 6 - 8 wedges. Store in an airtight container.
