Print Recipe

Equipment

  • large saucepan
  • Spatula
  • 9x13 inch Baking Pan

Ingredients

For the Treats

  • 6 cups Rice Krispies cereal The base ingredient providing structure and crunch
  • 10 oz Mini marshmallows Essential for sweetness and gooey texture
  • 3 tablespoon Unsalted butter Adds richness and binds the mixture
  • 1 cup Tonic water Vital for the glow effect
  • 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract Optional but recommended for flavor
  • 4 drops Neon food coloring (green, blue, pink, or yellow) For vibrant color
  • Optional decorations (edible glitter, candy eyes, sprinkles, or mini chocolate chips) Add excitement and visual appeal

Instructions

Directions

  • In a large saucepan over medium heat, melt the unsalted butter until it's completely liquid, watching for a slight bubbly appearance, about 2-3 minutes.
  • Stir in the mini marshmallows, mixing until they are fully melted and smooth. This should take another 2-3 minutes.
  • Once the marshmallows are melted, stir in the tonic water and vanilla extract until everything is combined.
  • Remove the mixture from heat, and carefully fold in the Rice Krispies cereal along with your chosen neon food coloring.
  • Transfer the mixture to a greased 9x13 inch baking pan. Press it firmly into the pan with a spatula or your hands.
  • Allow the treats to cool completely at room temperature. Once set, cut them into squares.
  • Optional: Add edible glitter on top for an extra sparkly effect!

Notes

Press the mixture firmly into the pan and avoid refrigeration to maintain texture. Use regular tonic water for the best glow effect and customize colors as desired.
