How to Make the Rice Krispie Treat Mixture
The base for our Easter Rice Krispie Treat Bites is our Best Ever Rice Krispie Treat Recipe which we have adjusted and perfected over the years until it is now absolutely the best Rice Krispie Treat recipe we have ever tasted. You can find all the directions you’ll need to make these delicious treats right here. We made four different colors of bites for our Easter treat – purple, blue, pink, and yellow. You will find the directions you need for making colored Rice Krispie Bites below.
How to make the Pink Rice Krispie Treat Bites
First, make a 2 Cup batch of Rice Krispie Treat mixture (2 Tbsp. Butter/2 Cups Mini Marshmallows/2 Cups Cereal). Add the food coloring BEFORE you add the Rice Krispie Cereal. To create this pretty shade of Pink we used 2 drops of Pink Wilton Color Right Food Coloring. Allow the pink Rice Krispie Treat mixture to cool enough so you can handle it but that it is still malleable. To get Rice Krispie Bites that were the same sized I measured .5 oz. of the mixture on my food scale and then used my hands to roll it into a ball. If the mixture is too sticky, rub your fingers with some butter. I was able to make 12 Rice Krispie Treat Bites from this 2 cup batch of Rice Krispie Treat Mixture.
How to Make Yellow Rice Krispie Treat Bites
For the yellow Rice Krispie Treat Bites, follow the directions for the pink Rice Krispie Treat Bites but add 3 drops of yellow Wilton Color Right Food Coloring to the marshmallow mixture before you add the Rice Krispie Cereal.
How to Make Blue Rice Krispie Treat Bites
For the bright blue Rice Krispie Treat Bites, follow the directions listed above. We got this pretty color of blue by using the following amounts of 2 drops of Blue Wilton Color Right Food Coloring to the marshmallow mixture before you add the Rice Krispie Cereal. Don’t add too much blue food coloring or you will end up with Aqua/Teal Rice Krispie Bites as the yellow from the marshmallow mixture and the Rice Krispie Cereal will mix with the blue food coloring to make teal.
How to Make Purple Rice Krispie Treat Bites
For the purple Rice Krispie Treat Bites, follow the directions listed above. We got this pretty color of purple by using 6 drops of pink and 2 drops of blue Wilton Color Right Food Coloring to the marshmallow mixture before we added the Rice Krispie Cereal.
