This cereal treat recipe could be about the prettiest one.

You may be asking what can I use instead of Rice Krispies.

Certainly Rice Kripie cereal is the most famous crispy cereal that can be used in a recipe such as this one. They pretty much invented the concept of cereal treats made with marshmallows.

However, you could try using another similar cereal to make yours.
For the best results in this recipe, I would stick to a puff rice cereal.
To get the fun colors that I have in my treats use a white or light colored cereal.

Tips for making the treat pops.

Working with the cereal and marshmallow mix can get sticky. I suggest that you spray your hands with a bit of nonstick or use a bit of oleo or oil on your hands.

More tips for you

1. We are using candy melts for the drizzled coating. You can use the colors of your choice, chocolate chips, or simply omit the decoration.
2. Allow the krispie treats to fully cool before cutting them into shapes. Excess pieces can also be pressed together to form more flowers.
3. (if it wont stick, dip it in melted chocolate and slide into treat).

Personalize these cereal treats.

This is fun recipe idea as it is.
However, you can make yours more fun.

Try one of these ideas.

• Use different colors than I have used for a holiday, celebration or for your favorite sports team.
• I am using a daisy shaped cookie cutter to get the flower shapes. You can use another flower or shape as desired.
• Adding some sprinkles on top can make these pops even more fun!

How to make Spring Inspired Krispie Treats

Step One: make the krispie treats.

Line a rimmed baking sheet with parchment paper.
Spray the parchment paper with nonstick and set it aside.

Use two (microwave safe) bowls if you have chosen to use two gel color or three if you are using three colors.

Start by separating the marshmallows evenly between the bowls. Add one tablespoon of butter to each of the bowls.
Heat the first bowl with the marshmallows and butter in the microwave on high for 45 seconds.
Stir the mixture and microwave for another 20 seconds. Stir in one drop of gel food coloring. Then stir in the rice cereal (2 cups if you are using three colors or three cups if you are using two colors).
Repeat this process until all of your bowls have been made. Then transfer the individual bowl ingredients to the prepped baking sheet. Tip: very the placement of colors to make colorful flowers.

Place another sheet of parchment paper on top and use a rolling pin or back of a large spoon to press the mixture in so that the entire baking sheet is level. Place the baking sheet into the refrigerator for 15 minutes to set..

Step Two: make the flowers.

Lightly spray your cookie cutter with non stick spray then press straight down into the rice cereal treats to cut out each flower.

Step Three: decorate the flowers.

To make the colorful chocolate drizzles on your flowers, add each color candy melts that you have chosen to individual piping bags and then melt each bag on HIGH for 30 seconds.
Flip your piping bag(s) over and then you can microwave for another 30 seconds or until smooth.
