Rainbow Rice Krispies

Instructions

1. Purple Layer
   
   1/2 tbsp butter
   8 large marshmallows, or 1 cup of mini marshmallows
   1 cup of rice krispies
   purple food coloring (or combine red and blue)
   Start by creating the purple layer of the rainbow as the first layer. Combine 1/2 tbsp butter with 8 large marshmallows, or 1 cup of mini marshmallows. Heat in a small pan over medium heat, until all the marshmallows and butter are melted. Remove from the heat and add purple food colouring (two drops of red and two drops of blue) and stir to fully combine. Then stir in 1 cup of rice krispies.
   
   While it's still warm, turn the mixture out onto a piece of wax paper or parchment paper, and form it into a long tube like shape, about 14 inches long. Use a spatula to shape it whiles it's hot, and then your hands once it's cool enough. Coat your hands with butter, or spray them with nonstick cooking spray to avoid them sticking to the rice krispies.
   
2. Blue Layer
   
   1/2 tbsp butter
   8 large marshmallows, or 1 cup of mini marshmallows
   1 cup of rice krispies
   blue food coloring
   Next create the blue layer of the rainbow with your second batch. Combine butter and marshmallows. Heat in a small pot over medium heat, until all the marshmallows are melted. Remove from the heat and add the food coloring into the gooey marshmallows mixture and stir to fully combine. Then stir in the rice krispies.
   
   While it's still warm, turn the mixture out onto another piece of parchment paper sprayed with cooking spray, and form it into a rectangle shape that's about 14 inches long -the same length as the purple centerpiece. Flip it onto the purple layer and use your hands to shape it into an even layer and form the blue arch.
   
3. Green Layer
   
   3/4 tbsp butter
   10 large marshmallows, or 1 1/3 cup of mini marshmallows
   1 1/4 cup of rice krispies
   green food coloring
   Next create the green layer of the rainbow. Combine the butter with the marshmallows. Heat in a small pot over medium heat, until all the marshmallows are melted. Remove from the heat and add food colouring to the melted marshmallows and stir to fully combine. Then stir in the rice krispies.
   
   While it's still warm, turn the mixture out onto another piece of parchment paper sprayed with cooking spray, and form it into a rectangle shape that's about 14 inches long -the same length as the purple centerpiece. Flip it onto the blue layer and use your hands to shape it evenly and form the green arch.
   
4. Yellow Layer
   
   3/4 tbsp butter
   10 large marshmallows, or 1 1/3 cup of mini marshmallows
   1 1/4 cup of rice krispies cereal
   yellow food coloring
   Next create the yellow layer of the rainbow. Combine the butter with the marshmallows. Heat in a small pot over medium heat, until all the marshmallows are melted. Remove from the heat and add food colouring and stir to fully combine. Then stir in the rice krispies.

5. Orange Layer
   
   1 tbsp butter
   12 large marshmallows, or 1 2/3 cup of mini marshmallows
   1 1/2 cup of rice krispies
   orange food coloring
   Next create the yellow layer of the rainbow. Combine the butter with the marshmallows. Heat in a small pot over medium heat, until all the marshmallows are melted. Remove from the heat and add food colouring and stir to fully combine. Then stir in the rice krispies.

6. Red Layer
   
   1 tbsp butter
   12 large marshmallows, or 1 2/3 cups of mini marshmallows
   1 1/2 cup of rice krispies
   red food coloring
   Next create the yellow layer of the rainbow. Combine the butter with the marshmallows. Heat in a small pot over medium-low heat, until all the marshmallows are melted. Remove from the heat and add food colouring to the melted marshmallow mixture and stir to fully combine. Then stir in the rice krispie cereal.
   
   While it's still warm, turn the mixture out onto another piece of parchment paper sprayed with cooking spray, and form it into a rectangle shape that's about 14 inches long -the same length as the purple centerpiece. Flip it onto the orange layer and use your hands to shape it evenly and form the red arch.
   
7. Let the colorful rainbow rice krispie treats set and then cut into slices 1/2 - 3/4 inch thick. Optional: add some gold sprinkles to one side as some gold at the end of the rainbow. Be sure to add them right after you cut the slices, so that it's sticky enough for the sprinkles to stick. Or dip one end in some melted chocolate or candy melts and then sprinkle with gold sprinkles.
8. Store these at room temperature, in an airtight container, or wrapped with plastic wrap.
