Ingredients

  • Butter
  • Mini marshmallows
  • Rice Krispies cereal
  • Green food coloring
  • Yellow and blue food coloring
  • Non-stick spray or butter for greasing

Instructions

  • Prepare the Rice Krispie Mixtures:

    • For the green batch: Melt 3 tablespoons of butter with 3 cups of mini marshmallows. Once melted, add 6 drops of yellow and 3 drops of blue food coloring. Stir in 3 cups of Rice Krispies.
    • For the white batch: Follow the same process, but skip the food coloring.
    • For the bright green batch: Melt 3 tablespoons of butter with 3 cups of marshmallows. Add 6 drops of yellow and 1 drop of blue food coloring.
  • Form the Bites: Allow the mixtures to cool slightly for easier handling. Once cool enough, grease your hands with butter and form the mixture into bite-sized balls (about 0.5 oz each).

  • Storage: Let the bites cool completely on a tray before serving. Store in an airtight container for up to a week.

Notes

  • You can drizzle melted chocolate over the bites or add sprinkles/edible glitter for an extra festive touch.
  • If desired, substitute Rice Krispies with Cornflakes for a different texture.
