A fun and colorful twist on classic Rice Krispies treats, Candy Corn Rice Krispies feature three layers of marshmallow-cereal goodness in yellow, orange, and white to mimic the look of candy corn.

  • Total Time: 2 hours 20 minutes
  • Yield: 12 servings 1x

Ingredients

Scale
  • For the yellow layer:
    • 2 1/2 cups mini marshmallows
    • 2 tablespoons butter
    • big pinch of salt
    • 5 drops yellow food gel
    • 2 1/4 cups crisp rice cereal
  • For the orange layer:
    • 1 3/4 cups mini marshmallows
    • 2 tablespoons butter
    • big pinch of salt
    • 5 drops yellow food gel
    • 12 drops red food gel
    • 1 1/4 cups + 2 tablespoons crisp rice cereal
  • For the white layer:
    • 3/4 cup mini marshmallows
    • 1 tablespoon butter
    • big pinch of salt
    • 3/4 cup crisp rice cereal

Instructions

  1. Spray an 8 or 9″ cake pan with cooking spray or grease with extra butter.
  2. In a large microwave-safe bowl, make the yellow layer: combine marshmallows, butter, and salt. Microwave on HIGH for 30 seconds, stirring until melted. If needed, microwave another 15 seconds.
  3. Whisk in yellow food gel, then stir in rice cereal until well-blended.
  4. Press the yellow layer around the edges of the pan to form a ring. Butter your hands if needed for easier handling.
  5. Repeat the process for the orange layer in the same bowl.
  6. Using a clean bowl, make the white layer in the microwave, then press it into the center of the pan.
  7. Let cool for at least 2 hours before slicing into triangles.

Notes

  • Use gel food coloring for vibrant colors.
  • Pack each layer firmly for clean slices.
  • Store in an airtight container for up to 3 days.
