Ingredients

  • 6 cups Rice Krispies cereal
  • 3 tbsp butter unsalted
  • 10 oz bag mini marshmallows
  • Red food coloring

Instructions

  • Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
  • Melt butter in a large pot over low heat. Add marshmallows and stir until smooth. Tint with red food coloring until pink.
  • Stir in cereal until evenly coated.
  • Scoop mixture onto tray with an ice cream scoop. Shape into ovals.
  • Use the back of a butter knife to press a line down the center of each oval to resemble a brain.
  • Mix red food coloring with a little water. Use a paintbrush to add “veins” on top of each brain.
  • Let set before serving.

Notes

  • Grease your hands to prevent sticking when shaping.
  • Adjust food coloring for a lighter or darker look.
  • Make ahead and store in an airtight container up to 2 days.
  • Try Cocoa Krispies for darker brains.
  • Paint veins with candy melts instead of food coloring if desired.
