How to Make the Rice Krispie Treat Mixture
Step 1: The base for our Harvest 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 Treat Mixture
Step 2: We made our Halloween Rice Krispie Bites in five different Halloween colors … Orange, Brown, Sage, Gold, and Red (not shown above.) You will need to make five different batches of Rice Krispie Treats, one for each color. For each color of Rice Krispie Treat Bite make a 2 cup batch of Rice Krispie Treat mixture (2 Tbsp. Butter/2 Cups Mini Marshmallows/2 Cups Cereal). Add the food coloring BEFORE you add the Rice Krispie Cereal.
Here are the Food Coloring Formulas we used:
Orange: 5 Drops of Orange and 2 Drops of Crimson
Brown: 5 Drops of Orange, 3 Drops of Yellow, 1 Drop of Red and 1/2 Drop of Brown
Gold: 4 Drops of Yellow and 2 Drops of Orange
Sage: 8 Drops of Yellow, 4 Drops of Blue and 2 Drops of Orange
Red: 8 Drops of Crimson, 1 Drop of Orange and 1/2 Drop of Brown
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 this 3 cup batch of Rice Krispie Treat Mixture.
Step 4: Allow the Fall Harvest Rice Krispie Bites to cool before you store them. This is a great Fall or Thanksgiving treat and you can make it well ahead. Rice Krispie Treats freeze up great in an air-tight container.
