How to Make the Marshmallow Mixture
You will need to make four batches of Rice Krispie Treat mixture – one for each of the four layers of the Ombre Rice Krispie Treats.
Directions for a single layer for the Rice Krispie Treats
Step 1: Melt 3 tbsp. Butter in a medium pan.
Step 2: Add 3 cups of Mini Marshmallows and stir until the marshmallows are completely melted.
Step 3: Take the pan off the heat. Before you add the Rice Krispies Cereal, add the food coloring in the following amounts:
Top Layer = No Food Coloring
Light Pink = 1 drop of Pink Food Coloring
Medium Pink = 3 drops of Pink Food Coloring
Dark Pink = 6 drops of Pink Food Coloring
Adding the Rice Krispies Cereal
Steps 4-7: After you add the food coloring, add 3 cups of Rice Krispie Cereal and mix until the cereal is completely covered with the tinted marshmallow mixture. Allow the Rice Krispie Mixture to cool slightly.
Assembly Instructions
Steps 8-9: For each layer pour the Rice Krispie Treat mixture into a large cookie sheet. Flatten the mixture into a strip that is 4” wide and about as tall as the edge of the cookie sheet.
Step 10: Once all four layers have cooled, stack the layers of Rice Krispie Treats. Dark Pink on the bottom, then the Medium Pink, then the Light Pink, ending with the white strip.
Step 11: Cut the layered Rice Krispie Treat loaf into individual slices with a sharp knife.
Steps 12-13: Cut the slices in half.
Serving/Storage Instructions
Rice Krispie Treats will last 2-3 days at room temperature in an air-tight container before they start to get stale. You can extend that timeline a few days if you store them in the refrigerator and then take them out about 30 minutes before you eat them. They freeze up great though and that is what we do if we want to make these ahead of time for a party or a family gathering. They defrost very quickly and taste great once they are defrosted. You can keep them in the freezer for up to a couple of months.
