How to Make Peeps Rainbow Rice Krispie Treats

Now that you have your ingredients and kitchen tools ready, it's time to dive into the fun part - making these delicious Peeps Rainbow Rice Krispie Treats! Follow these simple, easy-to-follow directions to create a vibrant and colorful treat everyone will love.

1. Prepare the pan by spraying the bottom of a 9" tart pan or pie pan with cooking spray. Place a circle cut out of parchment paper in the middle of the pan. Spray the parchment paper and side of the pan again and set aside.

2. In a large pot, melt the butter. Once melted, stir in 1 bag of marshmallows until it is melted and combined with the butter. Take the pot off the stove and mix in the vanilla and salt.

3. Add the Rice Krispie cereal, Fruity Pebbles cereal, and ½ bag of marshmallows into the pot and combine thoroughly.

4. Spoon the mixture into the tart pan and press down with a greased spatula to level. Wait 1 hour for the rice krispie treats to set.

5. While the rice krispie treats are setting, prepare the frosting by placing the butter and powdered sugar in a large mixing bowl. Beat together until fluffy, about 1-2 minutes.

6. With a spatula or spoon, fold in the marshmallow fluff and vanilla. Combine thoroughly, then add the food coloring and mix well.

7. Once the rice krispie treats are set, spoon the marshmallow frosting into a Ziploc bag and cut a small hole at one of the tips.

8. Starting at the center of the pan, pipe frosting onto the rice krispie treats in a circular motion until the edges are reached.

9. Place additional Fruity Pebbles and Peeps atop the frosting and serve immediately.

Tips, Tricks and How to Store Peeps Rice Krispie Treats

To ensure that your Peeps Rainbow Rice Krispie Treats turn out perfectly, here are some helpful tips and tricks, plus how to store them properly.

Don't overheat the marshmallows when melting them with butter. Heat them slowly on low heat, constantly stirring until completely melted.
To prevent the Rice Krispie mixture from sticking to your spatula or spoon, spray it with cooking spray before using it.
When pressing the mixture into the pan, use a greased spatula or your hands to evenly distribute it and press it down firmly.
For an even layer of frosting, pipe it onto the treats, starting at the center and working your way outward in a circular motion.
To store the treats, place them in an airtight container at room temperature for up to three days. They can also be frozen for up to a month. To thaw, simply let them sit at room temperature for a few hours before serving.
