Description
Cotton Candy Rice Krispies Twists are a delightful and colorful treat that combines the classic Rice Krispies treat with the sweet flavor of cotton candy, perfect for parties and celebrations.
Ingredients
Scale
- 3 tablespoons unsalted butter
- 1 package (10 oz) mini marshmallows
- 6 cups Rice Krispies cereal
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1/2 teaspoon cotton candy flavoring (optional)
- 1/4 cup blue and pink sprinkles
- 1/4 cup powdered sugar (for dusting)
Instructions
- In a large saucepan, melt the butter over low heat. Add the mini marshmallows and stir until completely melted and smooth. Remove from heat and stir in the vanilla extract and cotton candy flavoring, if using.
- Gradually add the Rice Krispies cereal to the marshmallow mixture, stirring until well coated.
- Allow the mixture to cool slightly, then use your hands (greased with butter or cooking spray) to press the mixture into a 9×13 inch baking dish evenly.
- Once the mixture is set, cut it into strips or squares.
- Roll each piece into a twist shape and sprinkle with blue and pink sprinkles. Dust with powdered sugar to prevent sticking.
- Let the twists sit for about 30 minutes to firm up before serving.
Notes
- For a fun variation, try adding crushed freeze-dried strawberries or blueberries to the mixture for a fruity twist.
- You can also substitute the cotton candy flavoring with other flavors like bubblegum or vanilla for a different taste experience.
