These dazzling galaxy-inspired Rice Krispies Treats are fun to make, visually stunning, and perfect for parties or kids’ events.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 6 cups Rice Krispies cereal
  • 10 ounces mini marshmallows
  • 4 tablespoons unsalted butter
  • Gel food coloring (purple, blue, black)
  • Edible glitter or sprinkles
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • Cooking spray or parchment paper

Instructions

  1. Lightly grease a 9×13-inch baking dish with cooking spray or line it with parchment paper.
  2. In a medium saucepan over low heat, melt 4 tablespoons of unsalted butter, stirring occasionally.
  3. Add the mini marshmallows to the melted butter and stir continuously until completely melted and smooth, about 5 minutes.
  4. Remove the saucepan from heat and stir in 1 teaspoon of vanilla extract.
  5. Divide the melted marshmallow mixture into three separate bowls. Add gel food coloring (purple, blue, black) to each bowl and stir until evenly distributed.
  6. Divide the Rice Krispies cereal evenly among the three bowls and mix thoroughly until the cereal is fully coated with the colored marshmallow mixture.
  7. Spoon the different colored mixtures into the prepared baking dish, alternating colors to create a layered effect. Use a spatula or butter knife to gently swirl the colors together for a galaxy-like appearance.
  8. Sprinkle edible glitter or sprinkles over the top while the mixture is still warm and press gently to ensure they stick.
  9. Allow the treats to cool at room temperature for 20-30 minutes, then cut into squares or shapes of your choice.

Notes

Use fresh marshmallows for the best texture, work quickly to prevent the mixture from setting too fast, and lightly grease your hands or tools to avoid sticking.
