  • Total Time: 20 minutes
  • Yield: 14 servings 1x

Ingredients

Scale
  • 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.
