Lego Rice Krispie Treats
Description
The Lego Rice Krispie Treats recipe starts with melting butter and mini marshmallows, which are mixed into crispy rice cereal for a chewy and crunchy base. After pressing the mixture into a pan and cooling, the treats are cut into rectangles resembling Lego bricks. The distinctive feature is the topping: a layer of colored cookie decorator icing is spread on each piece, then six M&Ms of matching color are pressed on in two parallel rows of three. This adds visual appeal and a chocolatey crunch atop the soft treat.
The preparation involves separating M&Ms by color to fit the icing decoration, making the treats visually engaging and customizable. Cooling the treats well before decorating ensures the topping adheres properly and the treats hold their shape when cut and served.
Ingredients
- 5 cups Rice Krispies cereal
- 1/4 cup butter
- 4 cups mini marshmallows
- 1 (14.4 ounce bag) M&M chocolate candies
- cookie decorator icing red, blue, green, yellow
Instructions
- Pour Rice Krispie cereal into a large mixing bowl. Set aside.
- Melt butter in a saucepan over low heat. Once butter is melted, pour in mini marshmallows and stir constantly until marshmallows are completely melted and smooth.
- Pour marshmallows over Rice Krispies and stir together until completely mixed together.
- Scoop Rice Krispies into a lightly grease 9x13 pan. Press down using a piece of wax or parchment paper until flattened. Let cool completely before proceeding. You can pop them in the fridge for 5 minutes to speed up the cooling.
- While the Rice Krispies are cooling, separate out the M&Ms into colors that match the icing you are using. You will need 6 of the same color per Lego Krispie.
- Cut Rice Krispies into 18 rectangles. Squeeze some of the icing into a bowl. Dip the top of the Rice Krispie treat into the icing and use a butter knife to smooth it out. Place M&Ms on top in parallel rows of 3 while icing is still wet. Repeat with remaining Rice Krispie treats in varying colors of icing.
