"Play with your food, Wednesday!"

OK.  We have been playing with the rice krispies......  Bob's creation:

Mine:

Here is how it happened:

I cannot give you exact measurements, because I just guessed.  I buttered a round cake pan (I used one that the bottom comes out of, so it was easier to remove the RK treats when they were set, but a regular pan will work if you butter it really well. 

Start with yellow.  (Ok.  I started with orange---- don't ask me why---????---  anyway, that is why Bob had a blob of orange to play with.  I already had a nice orange ring around the outside of the pan before she said, "Mom, yellow goes on the bottom."  oops.)

Anyway, don't do that.  Melt a small blob of butter with some miniature marshmallows.  Add yellow food coloring to the desired shade, then mix in some rice krispies.  Make a ring around the outside of the pan, patting it in really well.  If you wet your hands, the marshmallow stuff won't stick to you.

Next do the orange.  You need a bigger amount of orange, but don't double the amount as I thought I should.  You need it about twice as wide as the yellow, but you are working in a smaller area, duh.  (Oh well, that gave Bob more for her creation.)  Press that into a ring pushing it hard against the yellow so they will bond.  Leave a hole in the center for the white.

Make just a really small amount of white--- (We are talking  a half teaspoon of butter and 1/4 cup marshmallows here)   unless you want to share some with whoever is helping you lick the pan, or just a bunch for yourself.   Smash the white into the center hole.  Pat really well.

Let set for an hour or so.  Dump out of the pan and cut into wedges.  I cut mine straight across in half, fourths, and finally eight.

Wrap in celophane and tie with a ribbon.  Send to Christopher.  No, seriously, if you make these, send one to Christopher.  He cannot get enough candy corns!!!!!  (I love you, Christopher!  Watch for some in the mail next week.)
