Ingredients
Scale
- 3 tablespoons unsalted butter
- 4 cups large marshmallows
- 6 cups puffed rice cereal
- Red or pink food coloring
- White frosting or marshmallow fluff (for detailing)
- Optional: food gels or edible paints to create realistic brain textures
Instructions
- Prepare your workspace by gathering ingredients and tools, including silicone molds if shaping precisely.
- Melt the butter in a large saucepan over low heat. Add marshmallows and stir until fully melted and smooth.
- Mix in the puffed rice cereal, stirring gently. Add food coloring for a brain-like appearance.
- Transfer the mixture onto a parchment-lined surface. Shape into brain structures using hands or molds, greased slightly with butter.
- Allow treats to cool slightly, then decorate with white frosting or fluff to add brain ridge details. Use gels or edible paints for realistic textures.
Notes
- Store in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 2 days, or refrigerate for up to a week.
- Use edible gels for more detailed decorations.
- Greasing hands helps prevent sticking during shaping.
