  • 4 cups Rice Bubbles (Krispies)
  • ½ tsp salt
  • red food colouring

Instructions
 

Preparation

  • Set up a Bain-Marie by boiling 1/2 cup of water in a small pot and placing a large heatproof bowl over it.
  • Add butter and marshmallows to the heatproof bowl and whisk continuously until a smooth paste forms, which takes about 2-4 minutes.
  • Carefully remove the bowl from the pot, then add salt and red food coloring, whisking until combined.
  • Transfer Rice Bubbles to a large mixing bowl, pour the marshmallow mixture over them, and mix well to ensure all Rice Bubbles are coated.
  • Oil your hands, shape the mixture into ovals, create a dent in the center with a butter knife, and use a toothpick dipped in food coloring to draw veins. Store in an airtight container for up to a week.
