Servings 4 people

Equipment

  • Large saucepan
  • Mixing spoon
  • Parchment paper

Ingredients
  

  • 3 tablespoons unsalted butter
  • 4 cups mini marshmallows
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1/2 teaspoon red gel food coloring
  • 6 cups Rice Krispies cereal

Instructions
 

  • Melt the butter in a large saucepan over low heat. Add the mini marshmallows and stir until fully melted and smooth.
  • Remove the pan from heat. Stir in the vanilla extract and red gel food coloring until the mixture turns a consistent pink-red shade.
  • Add the Rice Krispies cereal to the saucepan. Stir quickly until every piece is coated.
  • Let the mixture cool for two minutes so it is safe to handle. Divide it into four portions and press each one into an oval shape on a sheet of parchment paper.
  • Use your fingers to create folds and ridges across the top of each oval to resemble a brain. Set the shapes aside until firm.

Notes

Work with lightly buttered hands when shaping to prevent sticking. If the mixture cools too much before you finish forming the brains, warm it briefly over low heat to soften it again. Store leftovers in an airtight container at room temperature for up to two days.
