Neopolitan Rice Crispies

This is the first recipe of Rice Crispies that I have made successfully taste good. And the idea of dying the marshmallows has opened my eyes to a whole new world of making rice crispy eggs at Easter time or other such funness. :D

From Fox 13 News: (Yes, I find cooking advice in the weirdest locations.)

You will make THREE separate batches: one of Strawberry, one regular, and one chocolate.

1st the Strawberry Batch

* 2 TB butter or margarine
* 3 Cups mini-marshmallows
* ½ tea. Strawberry Extract, added with marshmallows
* 2 drops Red food coloring, added with marshmallows
* 4 Cups Rice Krispies


2nd the Regular Batch

* 2 TB butter or margarine
* 3 Cups mini-marshmallows
* 4 Cups Rice Krispies


3rd the Chocolate Batch

* 2 TB butter or margarine
* 3 Cups mini-marshmallows
* 4 Cups COCOA Krispies

First Start by making the strawberry batch. Melt Butter over LOW heat, and then add marshmallows. Melt over LOW heat. **

When all marshmallows are melted, add the strawberry extract and red food coloring. Stir in Rice Krispies, stir until completely combined. Press into buttered 13 x 9 pan. Using the butter wrapper press into pan, or put butter on your hands. Make the regular batch and when finished press it on top of the strawberry batch. Make the chocolate batch and when finished press on top of the regular batch.

They will be ready to serve in about an hour. Cool at room temperature. Best served the same day or wrap in plastic wrap.

**Microwave Directions: In a large glass bowl, melt butter then add marshmallows stir. Melt on high for two minutes and stir. If not completely melted microwave for another minute.
