Dive into a world of color and sweetness with these Rainbow Fruit Loop Treats! A whimsical twist on the classic Rice Krispy treat, this no-bake snack is perfect for any celebration, adding a burst of joy and nostalgia to your dessert table.
Ingredients:
- 5 tablespoons salted butter
- 2 teaspoons pure Mexican vanilla extract (or regular vanilla)
- 1/4 teaspoon sea salt
- 10 ounces mini white marshmallows
- 7 cups Fruit Loops cereal
- 10 ounces mini rainbow marshmallows
- 4 ounces white chocolate premium baking bar
- Rainbow sprinkles (for decoration)
Directions:
- Prep Your Pan:
- Butter a large rectangular baking dish thoroughly. Also, butter two silicone spatulas to aid in mixing and setting the treats.
- Marshmallow Mixture:
- In a large pot over medium heat, melt the butter. Stir in the vanilla extract and sea salt for flavor enhancement.
- Add the mini white marshmallows to the melted butter mixture, stirring constantly until the marshmallows are completely melted and the mixture is smooth.
- Mix in the Fun:
- Remove the pot from heat. Quickly fold in the Fruit Loops cereal until evenly coated with the marshmallow mixture.
- Gently fold in the mini rainbow marshmallows, ensuring they’re distributed throughout without melting entirely.
- Set the Treats:
- Transfer the sticky cereal mixture to the prepared baking dish using the buttered spatulas. Press down firmly to create a compact, even layer. If the mixture sticks to your hands, butter them as needed.
- Cool and Set:
- Allow the treats to cool at room temperature or place them in the freezer for about 15-20 minutes to firm up quickly.
- Decorate and Serve:
- Once set, cut the treats into 8 even squares.
- Melt the white chocolate and pour it into a Ziplock bag. Cut a small corner off the bag and drizzle the chocolate over the squares in a decorative zig-zag pattern.
- Immediately sprinkle with rainbow sprinkles for that extra touch of magic.
