Ingredients
- 4 tablespoons unsalted butter
- 10 cups mini marshmallows
- 6 cups crispy rice cereal
- 6 drops green food coloring
- 2 tablespoons shamrock-shaped sprinkles
- 0 as needed cooking spray
Directions
Step 1
Prepare a 9x13-inch baking dish by spraying it liberally with cooking spray, or line it with parchment paper for easy removal.
Step 2
In a large saucepan, melt the butter over medium heat until it is fully liquefied and starts to bubble slightly.
Step 3
Add the mini marshmallows to the melted butter, stirring constantly until the marshmallows are completely melted and smooth.
Step 4
Mix in the green food coloring, starting with 6 drops, and stir until the color is evenly distributed. Add more drops if a deeper green is desired.
Step 5
Reduce the heat to low and gently fold the crispy rice cereal into the marshmallow mixture, stirring until all of the cereal is evenly coated.
Step 6
Transfer the mixture into the prepared baking dish and press it down evenly using a greased spatula or your hands coated lightly in cooking spray.
Step 7
Sprinkle the shamrock-shaped sprinkles over the top, pressing them lightly into the surface to ensure they stick.
Step 8
Allow the treats to cool and set at room temperature for about 30 minutes.
Step 9
Once set, cut the treats into squares or use a shamrock-shaped cookie cutter for festive shapes.
Step 10
Serve and enjoy your St. Patrick's Day Crispy Treats!
