Ingredients

Instructions

  • Line your sand molds with a piece of plastic wrap. Butter your spatula or spoon, and ultimately your hands or your gloved hands.
  • In a microwave safe bowl heat white chocolate chips, butter, and marshmallows on high for 45 seconds. Stir with a buttered rubber spatula or spoon. Return to microwave and heat for 30 seconds, then stir. If the marshmallows and chocolate aren't melted, return to microwave and heat for 15 second increments, stirring after each, until melted. Note: you can also melt it in a saucepan set over low heat on the stove.
  • If adding color and you want just one color, add food coloring to large batch of marshmallow mixture and stir. Add more coloring until you reach the desired shade. Stir in Rice Krispies until well blended.
    *If making smaller batches so you can use a variety of colors, melt 1/4 cup white chips, 1 tablespoon butter, 2 cups mini marshmallows for 30 seconds in microwave. Stir in food coloring. If not completely melted, heat for 10 second increments until melted. Stir in 2 cups cereal.
  • Spoon some of the natural or colored cereal mixture into one of your molds. Use your buttered hands or gloved and buttered hands to press the mixture into the mold. Add more cereal as needed, pressing down firmly to compact it in the mold. Press it flat on top, removing any cereal that hangs over the mold.
  • To un-mold, turn the mold upside down and pull on the plastic wrap being careful with the smaller detailed areas. Remove the plastic wrap.
