Rainbow Rice Krispie Treats

If you’re looking for a fun but simple treat for St Patrick’s Day, look no further.  These Rainbow Rice Krispie Treats require absolutely no baking, take less than 30 minutes to make, and turn out super cute.  The kids loved them, and I did too! Rainbows make everything so pretty!

I like to use gel food coloring because it’s vibrant and a little goes a long way.  This Wilton Gel Food Coloring set has all the colors you need and then some.

Ingredients

  • 12 tablespoons butter divided
  • 9 cups mini marshmallows divided
  • 12 cups puffed rice cereal
  • Food coloring in rainbow colors

Instructions

  • Butter the inside of a 9"x13" baking dish.
  • Place 2 tablespoons of butter and 1 1/2 cups mini marshmallows in a medium mixing bowl.
  • Microwave on high for 1.5-2 minutes, until butter is melted and marshmallows are soft.
  • Add your first food color (I used the traditional rainbow order: red, orange, yellow, green, blue, purple) and whisk together quickly.
  • Fold in 2 cups rice cereal.
  • Spread mixture into the bottom of your prepared baking dish, using a greased spatula to spread. I also used a piece of wax paper to help spread the layers flat without a sticky mess.
  • Repeat steps 2-5 for the remaining colors of the rainbow.
  • When all the layers are prepared, allow to cool. Then cut into squares for serving

    Do you mean 12 cups of mini marshmallows? Or less than 2 cups each time? The math doesn’t add up. Thanks

      I’m so sorry! Thanks for pointing that out. It should 1 1/2 cups each time, to make 9 cups total! I fixed the recipe now.

    I made these today as a tester to use at my wedding sweety table next august and they look amazing! I ve left them in the fridge for about 4 hours but they are still abit sticky, I m worried about cutting them incase they fall apart. Are they suppose to remain sticky or go abit harder? Not sure if I messed up somehow!

      I’m glad they turned out pretty for you! As far as texture, they’ll be a bit sticky because of the marshmallow, but they should hold together. I cut mine up and transferred them straight to a plastic baggy and none of them broke apart at all. Let me know how it goes, and if there’s issues, I’ll be happy to troubleshoot with you 🙂

    Hi, I am planning to make this recipe for a birthday party next week.
    Can you tell how many boxes of cereal did you use for 12 cups?
    Thank you in advance!

        You’ll need 2 bags of marshmallows, too. There’s about 6 cups in a normal sized bag.

      I remember it being a little over 1 box, so definitely grab 2.
