Instructions
MINECRAFT RICE KRISPIE TREATS
Vanilla Rice Krispies - Green Layer
Spray 9x9 inch pan with a non stick spray, set aside.
On low heat in a large pot, stir butter (2 tablespoons) with a wooden spoon until melted. Then add mini marshmallows(5oz, 142 grams). Stir well until the marshmallows are melted. Remove from the heat and stir in Vanilla Extract (1/4tsp) and green food coloring (add a few drops, increase the intensity by adding more food coloring as needed). Stir well, till combined.
Fold in rice Krispies cereal (2 cups and 1/2 cup). Try not to crush the cereal with a wooden spoon.
Spread the green rice Krispies mixture in an even layer on the bottom of the prepared 9x9-inch pan. Place a piece of wax paper on the top and press the mixture down using your hands or the back of the measuring cup. Peel the wax paper off, cover loosely with food wrap and chill for 20 minutes.
Chocolate Rise Krispies Layer
On low heat in a large pot stir butter (4 tablespoons, 60 grams) with a wooden spoon until melted. Then add mini marshmallows (10z, 283 grams). Stir well until the marshmallows are melted. Add cocoa powder (1/4cup, 25grams) and chocolate chips (2/3cup,120-125grams). Continue stirring until the cocoa powder is mixed in and the chocolate chips are melted.
Remove from the heat and stir in Vanilla Extract (1/2 teaspoon) and fold in rice Krispies cereal (5 cups,126 grams).
Layer the chocolate rice Krispies mixture on top of the green rice Krispies layer. Place a piece of wax paper on the top and press the chocolate rice Krispies mixture down using your hands or the back of the measuring cup. Peel the wax paper off, cover it with food wrap and chill for 40 minutes or overnight.
Cut Minecraft Dirt Block Cubes
Run a dull knife or spatula along the edges to loosen the rice Krispies treat slab. Place a cutting board on the top and flip the baking pan to unmold the rice Krispie treat onto the cutting board. Cut the rice Krispie treat layer in half, then cut two halves in half. Repeat on the other perpendicular side until you have 16 Minecraft rice Krispie treats.
Storage
Store in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3-4 days. You can refrigerate them if you prefer firmer rice Krispies (that's how I like them).For moist and gooey squares, keep rice Krispie treats in an airtight container at room temperature. For firmer, harder squares: refrigerate them in an airtight container.
Notes
WHAT CEREAL CAN I USE INSTEAD OR RICE KRISPIES CEREAL? You can use Puffed Rice or Puffed Wheat Cereal instead; other similar cereal would also work.
