3 Tablespoons butter or margarine
1 package (about 10 ounces) marshmallows
6 cups Rice Krispies Cereal
Green food coloring
Jelly beans (can also use Peeps or robins eggs)
1. In large saucepan melt butter over low heat. Add marshmallows and stir until completely melted. Add a couple drops of food coloring to desired color. Remove from heat.
2. Add Rice Krispies cereal. Stir until well coated.
3. Using buttered spatula or wax paper evenly press mixture into muffin pan coated with cooking spray making sure the mixture comes up to edges and dips in the middle. Cool. Remove from muffin pan and place a few jelly beans in each basket. Best if served the same day.
Kay told me that if you add a little karo syrup to your old marshmallows, it will soften them. This is good news considering most of the time I make rice krispies, it is because my marshmallows aren't good for anything else.
