Ingredients
Scale
- 6 cups Rice Krispies cereal
- 10 ounces mini marshmallows
- 3 tablespoons unsalted butter
- 1/4 cup food-grade tonic water
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- Optional: neon food coloring
- Optional: edible decorations like sprinkles, candy stars, or edible glitter
Instructions
- Line your baking pan with parchment paper and set it aside. Keep all ingredients within reach.
- In a large saucepan over low heat, melt the butter completely.
- Stir in the marshmallows and continue to heat until they’re fully melted and smooth, about 4-5 minutes.
- Slowly pour in the tonic water while stirring. Be careful—it may bubble slightly. Add the vanilla extract and mix well.
- Remove the pan from heat and immediately fold in the Rice Krispies cereal. Mix until fully coated with the marshmallow mixture.
- Press the mixture into the prepared baking pan, spreading evenly. Use your hands or a spatula to smooth the surface.
- Sprinkle edible glitter, candy stars, or neon-colored sprinkles on top for extra flair.
- Let the treats cool for 15-20 minutes, then cut into squares or use cookie cutters for fun shapes.
- Place the treats under a black light to see the magic glow effect come to life!
Notes
Work quickly as the marshmallow mixture sets fast. Use fresh tonic water for the best glow effect. Lightly grease your hands with butter or oil to prevent sticking when shaping the treats.
