Ingredients
-
85 g unsalted butter
-
6 cups regular marshmallows
-
4 cups Rice Bubbles (Krispies)
-
½ tsp salt
-
red food colouring
Instructions
-
Prepare a Bain-Marie by adding ½ cup of water to a small pot and bringing it to a gentle boil. Place a large heatproof bowl over the pot.
-
Add butter and marshmallows to the bowl. Stir continuously until a smooth, thick paste forms (about 2–4 minutes).
-
Carefully remove the bowl from the pot. Add salt and a few drops of red food colouring. Whisk until the mixture turns evenly red.
-
In a large mixing bowl, pour the Rice Bubbles. Add the melted marshmallow mixture and stir until fully coated.
-
Lightly oil your hands, then shape the mixture into oval “brains.” Use a butter knife to create a line in the centre.
-
Dip a toothpick in food colouring and draw small veins for a realistic look.
-
Let the treats cool for 15 minutes, then store them in an airtight container for up to one week.
Notes
-
To prevent sticking, lightly grease your hands before shaping.
-
For a darker red tone, add more food colouring.
-
Vegan marshmallows and dairy-free butter can be used for a vegan version.
-
Avoid refrigeration to maintain a chewy texture.
