Ingredients

  • 9 1/4 cups rice krispies
  • 10 oz mini marshmallows
  • 7 tbsp butter
  • yellow food coloring
  • Orange food coloring

Instructions

  • Spray two 8" round cake pans with cooking spray, set aside.
  • Divide mini marshmallows and butter into three large microwave safe bowls as follows:
  • Bowl one (will become the yellow ring): 5 cups mini marshmallows and 3 tablespoons butter
  • Bowl two (will become the orange ring): 3 1/2 cups mini marshmallows and 2 tablespoons butter
  • The third bowl (will become the white center): 2 1/2 cups mini marshmallows and 2 tablespoons butter
  • Microwave bowl one for about 2 1/2 minutes, or until marshmallows become very puffy. Carefully remove bowl from microwave, it will be hot. Stir the marshmallow/butter mixture until smooth.
  • Add 2-3 drops of yellow food coloring, stir until desired color is achieved.
  • Once food coloring and marshmallow mixture is well blended, add 4 1/2 cups crispy rice cereal to the yellow marshmallow mixture. Stir until all the rice cereal is coated in yellow marshmallow mixture.
  • Divide the yellow rice crispy mixture between the two cake pans, butter your hand well and begin to press the yellow crispies around the inside of the pans, forming a ring, leaving the middle of the pans empty. Use cooking spray as needed to prevent the mixture from sticking to your hands.
  • Repeat the process above for the orange ring and the white center, with the following measurements, don't forget to add orange food coloring to your second round of melted marshmallows:
  • Orange: 2 3/4 cups crispy rice cereal plus contents from bowl
  • White: 2 cups crispy rice cereal plus contents from bowl #3
