Ingredients
Directions
- Over very low heat (or using a melt setting), melt the butter until it's fully liquid.
- Add the mini marshmallows and the marshmallow creme, then stir thoroughly to combine with the melted butter.
- Stir frequently to prevent burning in the middle. It may take some time, but eventually the mixture will turn completely smooth.
- Add the red velvet cake mix and stir until well incorporated. The mixture will turn brown and become a bit stiff to mix.
- Optionally, add 4–6 drops of red food coloring and stir.
- Pour in the Rice Krispies cereal. At first it may seem like there's too much cereal and not enough marshmallow coating, but keep mixing—there's plenty to coat it all.
- Transfer the mixture to a plate or, for a meat-counter look, a rectangular white foam tray. Use parchment paper to press the mixture down firmly (it won't stick) and shape it roughly into an odd, meat-like form. Press hard so the treats cut cleanly when serving.
