Can you dye rice krispie treats any color? I want to make colored rice krispie treats. Would it work if I added food coloring to mix and mixed it in?
Yes, add food coloring to marshmallow
Add a few drops to melted marshmallow after. It will be a great job.
What a stupid question
Just add marshmallow - but do not forget the butter on the color. I had to use Fruity Pebbles well.
Yes, it works very well.
Yes. added to the cast part of the recipe
Add your food coloring to the butter-marshmallow. you'll probably need to add a few drops to reach a bright color.
Remember that you crave the "glue", and not Krispies, so that the overall color of the completed deals will probably be quite light.
you can always add a personal touch to your krispie treats by covering the upper surface with Sprinkles (Wilton makes seasonal blends cute turkeys, clovers, stars, colored sugar, etc.). apply sprinkles while mixture is still sticky with marshmallows or not to stay. square or drizzle with the glaze cooled from a tube, and apply your asparagus with cherry.
Add dye to the melted marshmallow.
I want to do is to do with fruity pebbles. Then you have colorful treats. I think the puffed rice flavored fruit is one too many.
Neon Crispy Treats
For crispy treats with a little spice, this colorful, easy to make dessert fits the bill. Vary the amount of food coloring for pastel shades for spring or baby showers to bold "wow" colors for birthdays or meetings where the fun is on the menu.
