  • You’ll first want to make the rice krispy batter
  • Melt the butter in a saucepan and add the 4 cups of marshmallows
  • stir until smooth
  • pour 1/3 of the marshmallow mixture into one of your mixing bowls, add a couple of drops of one of the food coloring choices you have, and quickly add 1/3 (2 cups) of the cereal
  • Stir until the marshmallow has coated the cereal
  • *Repeat with the remaining marshmallow mixture, colors and cereal

Now that you’ve made the rice krispy mixture:

  • Grab the baking dish and place some wax paper down
  • pour one of the colored rice krispies cereal into the pan and push down until it’s flat and the thickness you want (mine were about 1/2 inches thick)
  • use the flower cookie cutter to cut out the flowers
  • add one of the colorful mini marshmallows to the center
  • *Repeat with the remaining bowls of rice krispies treat cereal mixture
  • you can push the scraps together to make more flowers or if you’re like me, snack on them! 

That’s it! Happy spring, summer, and everything!
