Peeps Rice Krispie Treats 

Ingredients

• 6 cups Rice Krispies Cereal
• 4 (3-ounce) packages of Peeps (one yellow, one pink, one blue, and one purple)
• 6 tablespoons butter

Instructions

microwave directions:

• Pick the dark spots (eyes and nose) off of the Peeps.
• Place one color of the Peeps in a large, microwave-safe bowl.
• Add 1 tablespoon butter.
• Microwave on high for 45 to 60 seconds.
• If you want your Peeps rice crispy treats to have more vibrant color then add 1-2 drops of matching food coloring.
• Stir until the marshmallows are completely melted.
• Pour 1 1/2 cups of Rice Krispies Cereal into the bowl and stir to coat.
• Repeat this process for the 3 remaining colors of Peeps.
• Pinch off small handfuls of the marshmallow cereal mixture and press them together.
• Place in the well-buttered 8-inch or 9-inch pan.
• Repeat, placing the next bunch of cereal treat mixture next to the first in the pan.
• Continue filling the pan.

stove-top directions:

• Begin to melt the butter in a medium-large saucepan set over low heat.
• Add the marshmallow Peeps and stir occasionally until about 75% of the marshmallows have melted.
• Remove the pan from the heat and continue to stir, smashing the marshmallows, until melted and smooth.
• Use the process listed above to create the multi-color rice crispy bars.
