How to Make the Rice Krispie Treat Mixture
Step 1: The base for our Christmas Rice Krispie Treats Bites is our Best Ever Rice Krispie Treat Recipe which we have adjusted and perfected over the years until it is now absolutely the best Rice Krispie Treat recipe we have ever tasted. You can find all the directions you’ll need to make these delicious treats right here.
How to Color the Rice Krispie Mixture
Step 2: We made our Christmas Rice Krispie Bites in three different Christmas colors … Red, Green, and White (not shown above.) You will need to make three different batches of Rice Krispie Treats, one for each color. For each color of Rice Krispie Treat Bite make a 3 cup batch of Rice Krispie Treat mixture (3 Tbsp. Butter/3 Cups Marshmallows/3 Cups Cereal). Add the food coloring BEFORE you add the Rice Krispie Cereal.
Here are the Food Coloring Formulas we used:
White: No Food Coloring
Red: 8 Drops of Crimson, 2 drops of Red
Green: 6 drops of yellow and 3 drops of Blue
For some extra Christmas pizzazz, liberally add some Nonpareils Christmas Sprinkles to the warm Rice Krispie Treat mixture.
How to Make the Rice Krispie Treat Bites
Step 3: To make the Rice Krispie Treat Bites, allow the mixture to cool enough so you can handle it but that it is still malleable. To get Rice Krispie Bites that were the same sized I measured .6 oz. of the mixture on my food scale and then used my hands to roll it into a ball. If the mixture is too sticky, rub your fingers with some butter. I was able to make 12 Rice Krispie Treat Bites from each 3 cup batch of Rice Krispie Treat Mixture.
