Makes 8 Treats

Ingredients

Green Layers:

• 3¼ cups crisp rice cereal
• 3¼ cups mini marshmallows
• 3¼ tablespoons butter
• Green food coloring

Yellow Layer:

• 1½ cups crisp rice cereal
• 1½ cups mini marshmallows
• 1½ tablespoons butter
• Yellow food coloring

Decorations:

• Red candy melts

Equipment:

• Feather mold
• 8-9” round cake pan

Directions

1.Make the Krispie Base

Green layers – Grease cake pan with butter. Using a large microwave safe bowl, combine marshmallows and butter. Microwave on high for 1 minute. Stir until smooth. Add green food coloring, stirring to tint evenly. Add cereal and stir until well-combined.

Yellow layer – Follow the same process as above for the yellow layer.

2. Assemble the Treats

Transfer ¾ of the green mixture to the cake pan. Apply butter to your hands to minimize sticking. Press the green layer around the edges of the pan to make a ring. Pack it firmly against the edges of the pan. Reserve ¼ of the green mixture for the last step. Set aside.

Transfer all of the yellow mixture to the cake pan. Repeat the same process pressing the yellow layer into a ring shape. Leave a round 3-4” area in the center of the pan for the final green layer. 

Add the remaining green mixture to the center of the pan. Once all colors have been added, use a flat rubber spatula to smooth the top of the treats. Allow to sit for two hours to fully firm.

3. Decorate the Hats

Melt ¼ cup red candy melts according to package directions. Spoon or pipe melted candy melt into the feather mold. Tap to release any air bubbles. Allow to harden. Repeat the process until you have 8 feathers.

Invert the treats onto a cutting board and cut into 8 wedges. Decorate each hat with a red feather.
