How do I make colored Rice Krispie Treats

Each of the links below will bring you to each color of Rice Krispie Treats filled with tips and tricks on how to make the particular color.

But generally speaking, we always start with our BEST Rice Krispie Treat recipe.

After melting the marshmallows and butter, stir in your food coloring. Then, mix your tinted marshmallow mixture over the Rice Krispie Treats, stir well, transfer to the baking pan, let cool, and enjoy!

what food coloring do I use?

Any food coloring will work great! You can choose gel paste food coloring, which is concentrated, and available at craft stores and online. Gel pastes come in every color imaginable.

My favorite gel pastes are the Americolor Brand. The small, .75 ounce bottles are all you'll need.

You may also use liquid food coloring, available in most supermarkets and much more affordable. Liquid food coloring comes in the primary colors, red, blue, and yellow. Follow the guidelines on the package to mix drops of each for secondary and tertiary colors.

all the colors

We have made Rice Krispie Treats in every color of the rainbow, plus black. You can also make brown with brown food coloring, but why give up a chance to make chocolate Rice Krispie Treats?
