Colored Rice Krispie Treats
Colored Rice Krispie Treats? Yes!! Rice Krispie Treats are always a hit around here, but this new twist on an old favorite is out of this world!
Colored Rice Krispie Treats are amazing – we call them Neapolitan Rice Krispie Treats awesome to look at (and super fun to bring to events!) but I have to admit it, these treats take things to a whole new level of delicious.
I also love that these are still a somewhat simple snack. Easy to tuck into lunches and/or serve at parties.
I always keep Rice Krispies cereal on hand because there are so many different rice krispie recipes that you can make, honestly – one for every occasion which makes them a great go-to when you are in a pinch. Everyone loves a good Rice Krispie great recipe!
Ingredients for making colored Rice Krispie Treats
6 cups Cocoa Krispies
9 tbs salted butter
12 cups miniature marshmallows
3 ounce box of powdered Strawberry Jell-O
There are three layers here (obviously) so you will be doing those each in their own batch.
Layer One – Vanilla Flavored and Colored Rice Krispie Layer:
Melt 3 tbs butter in a large saucepan.
Add 4 cups mini marshmallows and stir constantly until melted.
Remove from heat.
Turn that mixture into your greased baking dish and use a piece of wax paper to press the cereal mixture down firmly.
Wash and dry your large saucepan so you can start on your chocolate layer.
Layer Two – Chocolate Flavored and Colored Rice Krispie Layer:
Add 4 cups mini marshmallows and stir constantly until melted.
Remove from heat.
Turn that mixture on top of your vanilla layer and use a piece of wax paper to press the cereal mixture down firmly.
Wash and dry your large saucepan so you can start on your strawberry layer.
*remember, these colored rice krispie treats have three layers, so you’ll be making each one separately to combine after all three colored rice krispie treat layers are made.
Layer Three – Strawberry Flavored and Colored Rice Krispie Layer:
Add 4 cups mini marshmallows and stir constantly until melted.
Remove from heat.
Add 6 cups Rice Krispies cereal to the marshmallow mixture and stir until all the cereal is coated.
Turn that mixture on top of your chocolate layer and use a piece of wax paper to press the cereal mixture down firmly.
