When making marshmallow cereal treats, you can use gel, liquid, or powdered food coloring. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p> The more concentrated the food coloring, the less you will need to use. I chose to use <a href=\"https:\/\/amzn.to\/3lv0h1t\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener sponsored nofollow\">Wilton's Pink Color Right Food Coloring<\/a>. It's very concentrated and very bright. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>But, any of the food coloring pictured above will work just fine.  <\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 id=\"instructions\"   class=\"wp-block-heading\" >Instructions<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>You will start by melting the butter and marshmallows.
