Ingredients for Cotton Candy Rice Krispies Twists:
- 3 tablespoons unsalted butter
- 1 (10-ounce) bag mini marshmallows
- 1/2 teaspoon cotton candy flavoring or extract
- 6 cups Rice Krispies cereal
- pink and blue food coloring (optional)
- pastel sprinkles or edible glitter (optional)
- nonstick spray or butter for greasing
Instructions
- Prepare the Pan: Lightly grease a 9×13-inch pan with butter or nonstick spray.
- Melt Butter and Marshmallows: In a large pot over medium heat, melt the butter. Add the marshmallows and stir constantly until completely melted and smooth. Remove from heat and stir in the cotton candy flavoring.

- Cool and Serve: Let cool for 30–60 minutes, then cut into squares or twist shapes.
Notes

- Avoid overpacking the mixture when pressing into the pan to keep the treats soft and chewy.
- Store in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days.
