Ingredients
– 15 cups rice cereal provides the base for the crispy texture in all batches
– 15 tablespoons salted butter used to melt and bind the mixture for each batch
– 15 cups mini marshmallows adds sweetness and helps hold the shapes together
– Food coloring in yellow, pink, purple, green, and blue shades: for yellow, use 3 drops of pink; for pink, use 4 drops of pink; for purple, use 3 drops of pink and 2 drops of blue; for green, use 4 drops of yellow and 1 drop of blue; for blue, use 4 drops of blue
Instructions
1-Melt 3 tablespoons of salted butter in a medium pan over low heat.
2-Add 3 cups of mini marshmallows and stir continuously until completely melted.
3-Remove the pan from heat to prevent overcooking.
4-Add the food coloring at this stage: yellow uses 3 drops of pink; pink uses 4 drops of pink; purple uses 3 drops of pink and 2 drops of blue; green uses 4 drops of yellow and 1 drop of blue; blue uses 4 drops of blue. This step is key for even color distribution, as highlighted in our tips section.
5-Stir in 3 cups of rice cereal until it’s fully coated with the mixture.
6-Let the mixture cool slightly so it’s easy to handle without sticking to your hands.
7-Weigh out 0.5 oz portions and mold them by hand into egg shapes; rub butter on your fingers if needed to keep things smooth.
8-Allow the shaped eggs to cool completely before storing or serving.
