Mermaid Rice Krispie Treats
Equipment
- Spatula
- 9x13 Pan
- large stock pot
- Large mixing bowl
- measuring cups
- fish shaped cookie cutter
Ingredients
- 16 oz Marshmallows
- 4 tbs Salted Butter
- 6 cups Rice Krispies cereal
- green food coloring
- Sprinkles
Instructions
- Gather your ingredieents and supplies together.
- Pregrease your pan and spatula with either butter or a non-stick cooking spray.
- Melt your marshmallows and butter together - this can be done via microwave (instructions below) or via stoveop (instructions in post above).
- Dump 4 tbs of butter and 16 oz of marshmallows into a bowl that can be used in the microwave.
- Heat butter and marshmallows in microwave for 30 - 60 seconds.
- Take them out and stir them together well.
- Place back in the microwave and heat for 30 seconds, then stir.
- Continue heating and stirring in 30 second intervals until the marshmallows are fully melted
- Separate your melted marshmallows into two bowls of even amounts. (alternatively you could separate the butter into 2 tbs and marshmallows into 8 oz and heat each separately).
- Add green food coloring to one half of the marshmallows and stir well.
- Add 3 cups of cereal to each bowl of marshmallows and fold together well. You should now have half a batch of regular rice krispies and half that are green.
- Take your pan and press your treats into the pan, one half for each color.
- Set the pan aside to cool for around 30 minutes.
- Once cool, use your cookie cutter to cut the green treats - only cut the tail part of the fish, not the whole body.
- Then, cut small rectangles from your plain rice krispie treat side (this will be your mermaid body).
- Once you have your tails and body's cut, you can take one body and one tail and press them together to form your mermaid.
- Add sprinkles or other decorations as desired.
