Grinch Rice Krispie Treats (Vegan)
Easy, 5-ingredient Christmas Rice Krispie treats that look like The Grinch! No gelatine needed!
Ingredients
- 100 g Vegan butter (use the blocky type, not the spread)
- 300 g Vegan mini marshmallows (White ones are best as pink ones will affect the vibrancy of the green colour. I used Dandies.)
- 130 g Crispy rice cereal (Make sure it's vegan! I used Go-Free Rice Pops)
- Lime green food colouring (I recommend Colour Splash)
- 12 Red vegan sweets such as Skittles
Instructions
-
Line an 8x10-inch tin with baking paper and set aside.
-
Over low heat, melt the vegan butter in a pan.
-
Add the mini marshmallows and stir gently until melted. Vegan marshmallows don't melt the same as ones with gelatine in them, so don't be alarmed if it clumps together.
-
Add the food colouring and gently stir it in until you get your desired colour.
-
Pour the melted marshmallow mixture into a large bowl with the crispy rice cereal and mix well until evenly coated.
-
Transfer this mixture to your lined tin and press in firmly. Using the bottom of a cup is great for this.
-
While the mixture is still sticky, place the Skittles on top, in 4 rows of 3.
-
Leave to set for 1 hour, remove from the tin and cut into squares. If you like, you can make heart Grinch Rice Krispie treats by using a heart-shaped cookie cutter.
