We are also a family that loves candy corn. I know that is a love it or hate it kind of candy. Good thing for everyone these are just Rice Krispies Treats so everyone can enjoy them!
How to make Candy Corn Rice Krispie Treats:
You will want to prepare a round baking dish or cake pan for this with non-stick cooking spray.
Prepare 3 bowls of the melted marshmallows and Rice Krispies mix. You will color one bowl yellow, one orange, and leave one as is.
Form your Rice Krispies in the pan with yellow on the outside ring, then orange, and the white Rice Krispies in the center. Allow to set and then cut into triangles to make the candy corn shape.
Ingredient Notes:
- Rice Krispies: Any brand of rice cereal will work.
- Marshmallows: You can use regular, jumbo or mini marshmallows.
- Butter: I used unsalted butter.
- Salt: If using salted butter, omit the salt from the recipe.
- Vanilla Extract
- Food Coloring: You need Orange and Yellow food coloring
Directions:
Step One – Spray cooking spray with a heavy hand onto a 9-inch round cake pan or heavy grease with butter and set aside.
Yellow Layer:
Step Two – Place marshmallows and butter into a large microwave safe bowl.
Microwave for 45 seconds pausing to to stir every 15-20 seconds.
Step Three – Add into your melted marshmallows the vanilla extract, salt, and add a few drops of yellow food coloring.
Stir until combined and smooth.
Step Four – Next add your Rice Krispies Cereal into the marshmallow and mix until cereal his coated.
Step Five – Place yellow rice cereal into your prepared baking and shape a ring about 2 inches think around the entire outside of your pan.
Orange Layer:
Step Six – Place marshmallows and butter into a large microwave safe bowl.
Microwave for 30 seconds pausing to stir every 15-20 seconds.
Step Seven – Add into your melted marshmallows the vanilla extract, salt, and add a few drops of orange food coloring.
Stir until combined and smooth.
Step Eight- Next add your Rice Krispies Cereal into the marshmallow and mix until cereal his coated.
Step Nine – Place orange rice cereal into your prepared baking and create a middle ring all around the pan touching the yellow ring all the way around.
White Layer:
Step Ten – Place marshmallows and butter into a large microwave safe bowl.
Microwave for 30 seconds pausing to to stir every 15-20 seconds.
Step Eleven – Add into your melted marshmallows the salt. Next add your Rice Krispies Cereal into the marshmallow and mix until cereal his coated.
Recipe Tip
I do not use the vanilla on the white layer as the vanilla does darken the Krispies up a bit.
Step Twelve – Place your white ring into the center of your pan filing up the entire middle space.
Step Thirteen – Allow treat to set for at least 30 minutes then remove from the pan.
Slice like a pizza into 8 slices.
Tips for amazing Rice Krispie Treats!!
- Use a fresh un-opened bag of marshmallows to make the treats. This will result in the softest, gooiest texture.
- I recommend using gel food coloring. Gel food colors are more concentrated than their liquid counterparts resulting in a more vibrant color with less product.
- You can insert a popsicle stick or sturdy paper straw into the bottom of the yellow layer after the treats are cut to create Rice Krispie pops.
How to store Rice Krispie Treats:
Store your leftover Rice Krispies in an air-tight storage container or a Ziplock bag. Store them on the counter, not in the refrigerator.
They should last 5 to 7 days before starting to get hard.
These Rice Krispie Treats are super fun to make and enjoy. If you love or hate Candy Corn, you probably still will like this recipe.
Bring them to your next Fall or Halloween Party you are going to. Feel free to double or triple the batch if you need to!
