Description

Magical Rainbow Rice Crispy Treats are a fun and colorful twist on the classic rice crispy treat. Made with two types of marshmallows and a generous sprinkle of rainbow toppings, these chewy, sweet bars are perfect for parties or a delightful homemade snack. They combine the crispy texture of rice cereal with gooey melted marshmallows and a burst of vibrant colors for a magical treat that kids and adults will love.

Ingredients

Main Ingredients

  • 16 ounces Standard Size Marshmallows
  • 2 Tablespoons Unsalted Butter (cut into cubes)
  • 1/2 teaspoon Vanilla Extract
  • 6 Cups Crispy Rice Cereal
  • 3 Cups Magical Charm Marshmallows
  • 1/3 Cup Rainbow Sprinkles

Instructions

  1. Prepare the pan: Line a 9×13 inch pan with foil and generously grease it with butter or shortening to prevent sticking.
  2. Melt marshmallows and butter: In an extra-large bowl, combine the standard marshmallows and butter. Microwave on high for 2 to 2½ minutes until the marshmallows form one large, melted blob. Remove immediately and stir in the vanilla extract until the mixture is smooth and butter is fully melted.
  3. Mix in cereal and magic marshmallows: Add the crispy rice cereal to the melted marshmallow mixture and stir until it is halfway incorporated. Then fold in the magical charm marshmallows completely, ensuring an even distribution throughout the mixture.
  4. Press mixture into pan and add sprinkles: Transfer the mixture into the prepared pan. Press it down evenly and firmly. Sprinkle the rainbow sprinkles on top and gently press them into the surface so they adhere.
  5. Chill to set: Cover the pan and refrigerate for at least 2 hours to allow the treats to set and firm up.
  6. Serve: Once set, remove the treats from the pan by lifting the foil. Peel off the foil and cut the block into 12 square servings.

Notes

  • For best results, use fresh marshmallows to ensure gooey texture and proper melting.
  • You can substitute magical charm marshmallows with other flavored or colored mini marshmallows if unavailable.
  • Press the treats firmly and evenly in the pan to avoid crumbly edges.
  • Store leftovers in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days; refrigeration can cause them to harden more.
  • Feel free to customize by adding mix-ins like chocolate chips or nuts if desired.
