Ingredients
Scale
- 85 g unsalted butter
- 6 cups regular marshmallows
- 4 cups Rice Bubbles (Krispies)
- ½ tsp salt
- Red food colouring
Instructions
- Prepare a Bain-Marie by putting 1/2 cup of water into a small pot and letting it come to boil. Place a large heatproof bowl over the pot of boiling water.
- Place the butter and marshmallows into the large heatproof bowl. Continually whisk the ingredients until it becomes a smooth paste. This may take around 2-4 minutes.
- Using oven mitts or a tea towel, take the heatproof bowl out of the pot. Add the salt and a drop or more of food colouring, then whisk together.
- In a large mixing bowl, place the Rice Bubbles inside. Pour the marshmallow mixture over the Rice Bubbles and mix thoroughly to coat all the Rice Bubbles.
- Oil your hands and shape the Rice Bubbles into ovals. Use a butter knife to make a dent in the middle. Dip a toothpick into the food colouring and draw veins on the brains. Store in an airtight container for up to a week.
Notes
- Use gloves when shaping to avoid sticky hands.
- Adjust food colouring for darker or lighter shades.
- Store in an airtight container to maintain freshness.
