Cuisine: American
Serves: 24 bites
Ingredients
- 4 tablespoons butter
- 1 package (10 oz) mini marshmallows
- 6 cups Rice Krispies cereal
- Teal and gold food coloring
- Chocolate drizzle (optional)
Instructions
- Prepare a 9x13 inch baking pan by lightly greasing it with butter or cooking spray. Set aside.
- In a large non-stick pot, melt butter over low heat until completely liquefied and smooth.
- Add mini marshmallows to the melted butter, stirring constantly with a silicone spatula until marshmallows are completely melted and mixture is smooth and uniform.
- Remove pot from heat and quickly add teal food coloring, mixing thoroughly to achieve the Jacksonville Jaguars' signature teal color. Use gel food coloring for more vibrant results.
- Immediately add Rice Krispies cereal to the marshmallow mixture, stirring gently but quickly to ensure even coating of all cereal pieces.
- Transfer the mixture to the prepared baking pan, using a buttered spatula or clean, wet hands to press the mixture evenly and firmly into the pan.
- Allow the mixture to cool and set at room temperature for approximately 10-15 minutes.
- Optional: Once cooled, drizzle melted chocolate in gold color over the top to represent Jaguars' team colors.
- Cut into 24 uniform squares or bite-sized pieces using a sharp knife.
- Serve and enjoy your Jacksonville Jaguars-themed Rice Krispie Bites!
Tips
- Use gel food coloring for the most vibrant teal color - liquid food coloring can make your mixture too wet.
- Work quickly when mixing marshmallows and cereal to ensure even coating and prevent the mixture from cooling and becoming difficult to spread.
- Wet your hands or use a buttered spatula when pressing the mixture into the pan to prevent sticking.
- For clean, precise cuts, use a sharp knife and wipe it clean between cuts.
- Let the treats cool completely before cutting to ensure they hold their shape.
- For extra team spirit, consider using Jaguars-themed sprinkles or decorative edible glitter in team colors.
- Store in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days to maintain freshness.
