Rice Crispy Brains
Ingredients
85 g unsalted butter
6 cups mini marshmallows
4 cups Rice Krispies
½ tsp salt
red food coloring
Directions
- Prepare a Bain-Marie by putting 1/2 cup of water into a small pot and letting it come to boil. Place a large heatproof bowl over the pot of boiling water.
- Place the butter and marshmallows into large heatproof bowl. Continually whisk the ingredients until it becomes a smooth paste. This may take around 2-4 minutes to form a paste.
- Using some oven mitts or a tea towel, take the heatproof bowl out of the pot. Put the salt in and a drop or more of food coloring and whisk it together.
- In a large mixing bowl, place the Rice Krispies inside. Pour the marshmallow mixture over the Rice Krispies and mix thoroughly to coat all the Rice Krispies with the marshmallow mixture.
- Oil your hands portion out 14 portions. Shape the portions into ovals. Using a butter knife, put a dent in the middle. Dip a tooth pick into the food coloring and use it to draw veins on the brains. Keep in an airtight container for up to a week.
