Method
- Line a large baking sheet with parchment paper or a silicone baking mat. Set aside.
- In a large saucepan, melt the butter over low heat. Add marshmallows and stir until completely melted and smooth.
- Once melted, add red food coloring to achieve a light pink hue. Keep in mind the color will lighten once mixed with the cereal.
- Remove the saucepan from heat and stir in the Rice Krispies until fully coated with the marshmallow mixture.
- Using an ice cream scoop or 1/4 cup measure sprayed with non-stick spray, scoop portions onto the prepared baking sheet. Shape each mound into a slightly oblong circle to resemble a brain.
- Use the handle of a butter knife to create a deep groove down the center of each brain. Gently push the two sides closer together to enhance the shape.
- Mix a few drops of red food coloring with a tiny bit of water in a bowl. Use a clean paintbrush to streak or splatter 'blood' across the brains. Let set completely before serving.
- Allow the brains to cool and firm up before serving. Store in an airtight container at room temperature for up to one week.
Notes
Pro Tip: Use gel food coloring for a vibrant pink hue that holds its color. If desired, drizzle with strawberry syrup for an even gorier look!
Storage: Keep in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 1 week.
