Instructions

  1. Prep the Pan: Start by greasing an 8- or 9-inch round cake pan with butter or a nonstick spray.
  2. Make the Yellow Layer: In a microwave-safe bowl, combine mini marshmallows, butter, and a pinch of salt. Microwave in 30-second increments until melted, then stir in yellow food coloring. Add crisp rice cereal and mix until fully coated, pressing into a ring around the edge of the pan.
  3. Prepare the Orange Layer: In another bowl, melt mini marshmallows, butter, and salt. Add food gel to create the desired shade of orange. Mix in crisp rice cereal and press into the yellow ring.
  4. Create the White Layer: Melt mini marshmallows, butter, and salt, stir in crisp rice cereal, and press into the center of the pan.
  5. Let It Set: Let the layered treats set at room temperature for at least two hours.
  6. Slice & Serve: Slice the Rice Krispies into wedges that resemble a cake.
