Let’s Make Unicorn Rice Krispie Treats.
Measure out 3 cups of Rice Krispies and set aside. In a large bowl, melt 1 1/2 Tbsp of butter. Add 20 large marshmallows or 2 cups of mini marshmallows. Stir to coat the marshmallows with butter—microwave 60 to 90 seconds to melt the marshmallows until they are puffy. Then add 3 drops of pink and 2 drops of purple food coloring. Swirl the food coloring in to create your unicorn marshmallows. Add the 3 cups of Rice Krispies and stir to mix. Once the Rice Krispies are coated with the Unicorn marshmallows, press the mixture into an 8 1/2 X 11-inch baking pan and chill for 1 hour. Remove the treats and cut them into unicorns.
Decorate the Unicorns:
- Make the horns: Use the white candy melts and the horn mold. White chocolate chips will also work. Add a little vegetable shortening (1tsp/1/2 cup chips). Melt the candy melts in the microwave and fill the horn. Let the melts harden, then unmold and color the horn gold.
- Make the ears by cutting a mini marshmallow on the diagonal.
- Attach the horn, ears, and sprinkles, as pictured using the melted candy, melts as “glue.”
- Draw on the eyes with the black decorating icing.
