4-ingredient cereal bars

Ingredients:

• 2 Tbsp (30ml) butter
• ½ packet (200g) marshmallows
• A few drops food colouring
• 2½ cups (100g) popped rice cereal

Method:

1. 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.)
2. Add cereal and combine well before mixture begins to stiffen. Divide into three portions.
3. 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.
4. Scoop the no-colour batch into a lined 23cm square dish and even out the top with the back of a wet spoon.
5. Repeat to create two more layers of colours – one pale, one darker.
6. Refrigerate for at least 20 minutes or until set.
7. Slice into bars (ask a grown-up to help you).
8. Serve or store in an airtight container.
