- 6 cups Rice Krispies cereal
- 1 package (10 oz) marshmallows or 4 cups mini marshmallows
- 3 tbsp unsalted butter

🥣 How to Make Rainbow Rice Krispies Squares Step-by-Step
Step 1: Prep Your Pan for Rainbow Cereal Treats
Line a 9×13-inch pan with parchment paper or lightly butter it.
Step 2: Melt Marshmallows for No-Bake Rice Krispies Bars
In a large pot, melt butter over low heat. Add marshmallows and stir until completely melted and smooth.
Step 3: Divide & color
Remove from heat. Divide the marshmallow mixture evenly into 6 small bowls. Add a different gel food coloring drop to each bowl and stir well.
Step 4: Layer or Swirl the Colorful Marshmallow Cereal Bars
For each colored batch, fold in 1 cup of Rice Krispies cereal until coated.
Step 5: Layer or swirl
In your prepared pan, layer each colored cereal mixture one by one or drop dollops and swirl gently with a spatula for a marbled effect.
Step 6: Chill & cut
Let cool at room temperature or refrigerate until firm (about 30 mins). Cut into squares and enjoy your rainbow magic!
