Chocolate Rainbow Krispies Treats
By: HeatherFeather
Feb 9, 2002
This is a colorful twist on the old favorite "Rice Krispy" treats. These go over well with children and are a big seller at bake sales. You may cut them into much smaller squares, if desired. We like them huge!
12 -20 squares
Ingredients
- 80 large marshmallows (or 10 cups mini size)
- 1/2-3/4 cup margarine (or unsalted butter)
- 12 cups Rice Krispies
- 3/4-1 cup miniature M&M's chocolate candies (not regular size!)
- nonstick cooking spray
Directions
1
Measure out cereal into a huge bowl and set aside.2
Melt margarine and marshmallows together in a large saucepan over low heat, stirring (do not let burn).3
As soon as the mixture has melted together, pour over the cereal and mix well using two large spoons.4
Let the cereal mixture cool down just a few seconds, then stir in 1/2 cup of the mini M&Ms candies, saving the remaining 1/2 cup for later.5
Mix well; some of the M&Ms will melt and the cereal will turn chocolatey.6
Immediately spread this mixture into a 9x13" baking pan that has been greased or sprayed with nonstick baking spray.7
Sprinkle the remaining 1/2 cup M&Ms over the top, pressing if needed to make them stick to the top (using a large sheet of wax papper to press will keep your fingers from getty sticky).8
Allow to cool competely.9
When cool, cut into 12 large pieces (or smaller pieces for more servings).10
Note: regular M&Ms will not melt quickly enough, which is why I recommend the miniature.

These are wonderful. My nephew was badly burned this past weekend and everyone is spending a lot of time at the hospital. I was searching for a recipe that would not crumble and M&M are his favorite. I was able to make these in less than 10 min then refrigerated them for about an hour. My grocery did not have the mini M&M's so I used the regular size but added them at the same time as the rice krispies and they worked great.

So yummy and colorful! I halved the recipe and molded these into a 11 x 7 dish. PLENTY! To do this I used 1 reg bag of mini marshmallows. It worked out perfect.

Heather, I made these for a bake sale at my daughter's school, and they were so yummy! I did use the mini M&M's, but they didn't melt, strangely enough. But NO MATTER! They were still very colorful and they tasted great. I did cut them very large, ended up with 15 in one pan, and 20 in another. Kids should get their 25 cents worth, right? 
You said 1/2 to 1 cup of margarine, I used 3/4 cup of butter, and mini mallows. Melted them in the microwave, which is probably why the M&M's didn't melt. But they took 2 minutes, a stir, 1 minute, a stir, and then 15-30 seconds, till they were ready. Thanks for a great twist on an old favorite!
