Minion Rice Krispies Treats Fun Food Idea

The Minions are hitting theaters again this summer, and I couldn’t be happier. These Minion-inspired Rice Krispies Treats are a fun way to celebrate those cute little characters and enjoy summer.

Minion Rice Krispies Treats

This is an updated Minion Rice Krispies Treat. The last one had a blue fruit roll-up for pants which are just about impossible to find now. Years ago, Fandango reached out to me about some of my Minion crafts and it inspired me to make this food treat. That was way back in 2015. Now, this summer, another Minion movie is coming out – yay! So, I decided I needed to update these little guys and this is what I came up with.

I actually like the frosting version better, and it tastes great paired with the Rice Krispy. I hope you like it, too.

Ingredients:

• 3 Tbsp. of unsalted butter
• 4 cups mini marshmallows, such as Kraft Jet-Puffed
• Yellow food coloring
• 6 cups of Rice Krispies Cereal
• 9×13 cake pan
• wax paper
• cooking spray (butter)
• Egg-shaped cookie cutter – I used a 3 in.

Frosting Ingredients plus the equipment needed:

• white frosting (you’ll probably only use about 1/2 cup)
• blue food coloring – gel preferred
• chocolate frosting (you’ll only need about 1/2 cup)
• black food coloring -gel is preferred
• pastry bag
• basket weave tip – I used a Wilton number 47
• writing tip
• Giant Candy Eyes – large

*This recipe made 7-9  Minions

Instructions:

You’ll first want to make the Rice Krispies

• Melt the butter in a saucepan over medium heat
• Add the marshmallows and food coloring
• Stir until melted
• Remove from heat
• Add the cereal and stir until your hand feels like it will fall off.
• Spray the pan with cooking spray – the butter flavor will taste best. An alternative to spray would be to line the pan with wax paper
• Fill the pan with the Marshmallow Rice Krispies mixture and spread it out – A silicone spatula sprayed with cooking spray is wonderful for this task. Trust me.
• Let it cool just a little bit

How to Make Minions Rice Krispies Treats:

• Cut shapes out with your egg-shaped cookie cutter
• To make black…In a small bowl, mix some black food coloring with the chocolate frosting
• Put the black frosting into the pastry bag with the basket weave tip
• Make a line for the goggles going across the top of the Minions
• Add 1 or 2 eyes to the melted chocolate line
• switch the pastry tip to the writing tip to make the mouth
• Add a mouth – I did frowns, smiles, straight across, etc…
• mix the white frosting with the blue food coloring until you get the color you like
• spread the frosting on the lower part of the minion to represent his blue jeans
