Ingredients
  

For the Treats
  • 3 tablespoons Unsalted Butter Can substitute with salted butter by omitting extra salt.
  • 4 cups Regular Marshmallows Pink or white marshmallows can be used.
  • 6 cups Rice Bubbles (Krispies) Other crispy rice cereals may work too.
  • 0.5 teaspoon Salt Use only if using unsalted butter.
  • a few drops Red Food Coloring Adjust for desired darkness or lightness.

Equipment

  • Heatproof bowl
  • Small pot
  • spatula
  • mixing bowl
  • Toothpick

Method
 

Step-by-Step Instructions
  1. Begin by creating a Bain-Marie. In a small pot, bring ½ cup of water to a gentle boil over medium heat. Place a large heatproof bowl over the pot, ensuring it doesn’t touch the water.
  2. Add 3 tablespoons of unsalted butter and 4 cups of regular marshmallows into the heatproof bowl. Stir continuously for about 2-4 minutes, or until smooth and glossy.
  3. Once melted, carefully remove the bowl from the heat. Stir in ½ teaspoon of salt and a few drops of red food coloring, mixing well until it achieves a vibrant hue.
  4. Pour the warm marshmallow mixture over 6 cups of Rice Bubbles. Quickly fold together until each Rice Bubble is well-coated.
  5. With greased hands, take handfuls of the mixture and shape them into oval ‘brains.’ Create a dent in the center of each brain.
  6. Once shaped, dip a toothpick into additional red food coloring and carefully draw lines on the surface of each brain.
  7. Allow the shaped treats to cool completely at room temperature. Store in an airtight container for up to a week.
