Ingredients
Scale
- 6 tbsp unsalted butter
- 6 cups regular marshmallows
- 4 cups Rice Krispies cereal
- ½ tsp salt
- Red food coloring, as needed
Instructions
- Fill a medium saucepan with ½ cup of water and bring to a gentle boil. Place a heatproof bowl over it to create a bain-marie.
- Add butter and marshmallows to the bowl and melt slowly, whisking until smooth and glossy.
- Remove from heat, whisk in salt and 2–3 drops of red food coloring until light pink.
- Pour the marshmallow mixture over Rice Krispies and stir quickly to coat evenly.
- Oil your hands and shape portions into oval brain forms. Use a butter knife to carve a groove down the center for the brain effect.
- Dip a toothpick in red food coloring and draw squiggly veins across each brain for realism.
- Let cool for about 20 minutes before serving.
Notes
- Store in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 7 days.
- Add mini chocolate chips for ‘neurons’ or use orange coloring for pumpkin-style brains.
- Oil your hands well to prevent sticking while shaping.
