how to make rainbow Rice Krispie Treat bites

you will need:

• prepared recipe of Rice Krispie Treats
• 1/2 cup each of six different candy melts (red, orange, yellow, green, blue, and purple)
• Candy Melts EZ Thins (optional)
• melon baller (optional)

A few notes on making these rainbow treats: You may substitute store-bought Rice Krispie Treats if you like, to speed things along. If you prefer to use white chocolate instead of candy melts, you are welcome to do so. However, I recommend you use oil-based candy colors and not regular food coloring.

step-by-steps:

Cut your prepared Rice Krispie Treats into 1-inch squares. Shape each square into a ball. TIP: Use a melon baller to help shape the Krispie treat balls. Each ball will be about 3/4-inch in diameter.

In a small, microwave-safe bowl, melt 1/2 cup of one color of candy melts with a pinch of the EZ Thins (EZ Thins are optional, but they help achieve a better dipping consistency.) To melt, microwave at 70 percent power for 90 seconds. Stir, and continue to microwave in 15-second intervals until about three-quarters of the melts are melted. Stir, using the residual heat to fully melt the candy.

Drop a Rice Krispie bite into the melted candy, turn over with a spoon, and remove with a fork, tapping the fork on the side of the bowl to remove excess candy. Place on a baking tray lined with wax paper. Repeat with all of the bites and candy melts. Let set at room temperature very well, about 1 hour. (If using white chocolate, you may place in the refrigerator to set.)

Makes about 65 Rice Krispie Treat bites if using a full recipe in a 13 x 9 inch pan.

Yield: 65 bites
