Ingredients:
- 2 Tbsp (30ml) butter
- ½ packet (200g) marshmallows
- A few drops food colouring
- 2½ cups (100g) popped rice cereal
Method:
- Melt butter and marshmallows in a large heatproof bowl in the microwave, stirring every 30 seconds, until soft. (Or melt butter in a pot on the stove on medium-low heat, add marshmallows and stir until completely melted, about 5 minutes.)
- Add cereal and combine well before mixture begins to stiffen. Divide into three portions.
- Add food colouring. For an ‘ombre’ effect (shading from lighter to darker), one batch has no food colouring added, one gets a dash of colour and the other gets more colouring.
- Scoop the no-colour batch into a lined 23cm square dish and even out the top with the back of a wet spoon.
- Repeat to create two more layers of colours – one pale, one darker.
- Refrigerate for at least 20 minutes or until set.
- Slice into bars (ask a grown-up to help you).
- Serve or store in an airtight container.
