Candy Corn Inspired Rice Krispie Treats!!

Next, I wanted to share something that I made this weekend, but didn’t get a chance to post until now because of power outages.  I am SO proud of myself when I come up with an idea 100% on my own and not from online or in a magazine!  I started off with the idea just to make orange-colored rice krispie treats by putting food coloring in the melted marshmallow.  I then came up with the idea to use up some candy melts and paint the tops of the krispie treats to make them look like candy corn!!

• 9 cups Rice Krispies Cereal
• 1/4 cup butter
• 1 bag (10.5 oz) Mini Marshmallows
• Candy Melts (you can buy them in different colors or you can just use food coloring to dye white ones)
• Food Coloring

• Grease the bottom of a 13×9 pan with butter and set aside.
• Place 1/4 cup butter in a pan on the stove.
• Turn burner on low.
• Melt the butter completely and then add in your entire bag of marshmallows.
• Keep on low heat and stir continuously until all marshmallows are smooth and melted.
• Add in food coloring at this point to dye your melted marshmallows orange.
• Next mix in 9 cups of Rice Krispies cereal.  Stir until well blended.
• Pour the mixture into the 13×9 pan.
• Let cool completely and then cut into small rectangles.
• Melt your candy melts according to the directions on the packaging.
• Paint the tops of each krispie treat completely with orange candy melt.  Let cool and then add a thicker stripe of yellow on the bottom and then a small bit of white on the top.
• Let the candy melts harden completely before stacking or storing.
