Ingredients

• 12 oz. bag marshmallows
• 6 tbsp. unsalted butter
• Orange and purple food coloring
• 9 c. brown rice crisp cereal
• Sprinkles

Instructions

1. Split half the bag of marshmallows between two bowls.
2. Add half of the butter to each bowl. Microwave each for one minute, pausing half way to stir the marshmallows until they have melted.
3. Add orange food coloring to one bowl of marshmallows and purple to the other.
4. Pour 4 1/2 c. of rice crisp cereal into each bowl, and mix into the marshmallows.
5. Combine both purple and orange marshmallow and rice crisps on an oiled rectangular baking sheet, alternating the colors.
6. Use the remaining marshmallows to make webs. Melt them and pull apart until stringy. Place on top of the cereal.
7. Pour sprinkles over the whole pan.
