Scale
- For the yellow layer:
- 2 1/2 cups mini marshmallows
- 2 tablespoons butter
- big pinch of salt
- 5 drops yellow food gel
- 2 1/4 cups crisp rice cereal
- For the orange layer:
- 1 3/4 cups mini marshmallows

- big pinch of salt

Instructions
- Spray an 8 or 9″ cake pan with cooking spray or grease with extra butter.
- In a large microwave-safe bowl, combine marshmallows, butter, and salt for the yellow layer. Microwave on HIGH for 30 seconds, stirring until melted. If needed, microwave for another 15 seconds.
- Whisk in yellow food coloring, then stir in rice cereal until well-blended.
- Press the yellow layer around the edges of the pan to form a ring. Use buttered hands for easier handling.
- Repeat the process for the orange layer using the same bowl.
- In a clean bowl, make the white layer in the microwave, then press it into the center of the pan.
- Let cool for at least 2 hours before slicing into triangles.
Notes
- Butter your hands to prevent sticking when pressing the layers.
- Pack each layer firmly against the edges for clean layers.
- Use gel food coloring for vibrant colors.
