Rice Krispie Bouquet

1. 1

   In a medium size bowl add 1 1/2 cups of marshmallows and then a few drops of food coloring. You can add more depending on the color you want. Stir with a wooden spoon and set aside.

2. 2

   In medium size pot over low/medium heat, melt 1 tablespoon butter. Then stir in the colored marshmallows and mix until they are melted. Remove from heat and pour in 2 cups of rice krispies. Stir until all rice krispies are well coated with the marshmallow mixture.

3. 3

   Spray a baking sheet and lay out the rice krispies. Let them sit for about 2-3 minutes before touching to allow them to cool off a bit. Spray one hand with cooking spray and then rub it together with other hand. Start spreading out the rice krispies in the pan. You will be laying 2 more batches right next to that one so make room. Don't mash too much or the flower will end up too thin to put the stick in. (The thicker the better.)

4. 4

   You can either wash the 2 bowls you used or start with new ones to create 2 more color batches.

5. 5

   Repeat the above steps 2 more times!

6. 6

   When you are done, allow rice krispies to cool for about 15-20 minutes. Grab a flower cookie cutter and spray all inner sides so that the rice krispies don't stick as much. Start cutting out the shapes and then lay the finished flowers onto wax paper. While pressing down gently on the flower, insert the lollipop stick, just allowing the end to reach the center of the flower. If the stick is popping out through the back of the rice krispies, use some of the leftover mix to mend the flower. Using the tip of your finger, make a small hole to add the m&m. If they don't stick, you can use a little bit of melted marshmallows to help hold it.
