The Ginger Snap!: Three Layer Rice Krispies Treats

I am a huge fan of Rice Krispies treats. I have made plenty of different kinds of Rice Krispies treats with different ingredients. I saw someone make some with two layers and so I decided to do three! Three is always better than two, especially when we are talking about food, right? Here is my three layer Rice Krispies treats. Enjoy!

*Makes: 24-30 pieces (depending on size)

Ingredients

For the Vanilla Layer

3 tablespoons butter
10 oz. (about 25 big marshmallows or 40 regular sized ones)
6 cups (120g) Rice Krispies cereal
1 teaspoon vanilla

For the Chocolate Layer

3 tablespoons butter
10 oz. (about 25 big marshmallows or 40 regular sized ones)
6 cups (120g) Coco Pops cereal
3/4 cup (100g) of chocolate chips

For the last layer

3 tablespoons butter
10 oz (about 25 big marshmallows or 40 regular sized ones)
6 cups (120g) Rice Krispies cereal
food coloring of your choice

Directions

Step 1: Begin by lining a metal square edged 9” by 13” pan with aluminum foil. Make sure to use a pan that has high sides. Spray your prepared pan with cooking spray. Set aside.

Step 2: For the Vanilla Layer, melt the butter in a large pot over medium-low heat. Add the marshmallows and stir continuously until they have melted completely (try to add them in 3 batches, not all at once). Add vanilla.

Step 3: Quickly stir in the rice cereal until it is completely coated. Pour the mixture into your prepared pan. Spray a rubber spatula or spoon with cooking spray and then firmly press the marshmallow covered cereal into the pan. You can also use grease proof paper since it wont stick to it. Place the pan in the refrigerator. Wash out your cooking pot and proceed to the Chocolate Layer.

Step 4: For the Chocolate Layer melt the butter in a large pot over medium-low heat. Add the marshmallows and stir continuously until they have melted completely. Add chocolate chips. Quickly stir in the Coco Pops cereal until it is completely coated.

Step 5: Pour the mixture on top of the vanilla layer in your prepared pan. Spray a rubber spatula with cooking spray and then firmly press the marshmallow covered cereal into the pan. Place the pan in the refrigerator. Wash out your cooking pot and proceed to the last Layer.

Step 6: For the last Layer melt the butter in a large pot over medium-low heat. Add the marshmallows and stir continuously until it has melted completely. Add your food coloring (I used red which ended up turning into a caramel color). Quickly stir in the rice cereal until it is completely coated.

Step 7: Pour the mixture on top of the chocolate layer in your prepared pan. Spray a rubber spatula with cooking spray and then firmly press the marshmallow covered cereal into the pan. Place the pan in the refrigerator.

Step 8: Heat chocolate chips and white chocolate in the microwave separately until they both have melted (30-40 second blasts each). Pour chocolate all over the top layer of the Rice Krispies and then pour the white chocolate. Spread around until it covers the entire top layer evenly. Stick back into the fridge until it has hardened.
