Rainbow Rice Krispies Treats
Ingredients
6 cups Froot Loops
1 stick unsalted butter
1 bag small marshmallows
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
1/4 teaspoon salt
Directions
In a pot on low heat, melt the butter and marshmallows together until fully melted. Pour in the Froot Loops and mix. Pour into a greased, parchment paper-lined pan, press down, and place in the fridge for 30 minutes. Top with sprinkles or rainbow marshmallows, cut into squares, and enjoy!
Tips:
- Use regular Rice Krispies and lots of sprinkles instead of Froot Loops.
- Use marshmallow fluff instead of butter and marshmallows for a quick hack.
- Frozen leftovers last for six months.
- Use gluten-free cereal instead.
- Brown the butter before adding marshmallows for a nuttier flavor.
3-ingredient Rainbow Fudge
Ingredients
10-ounce can sweetened condensed milk
2 cups white chocolate
Natural food dye: red, orange, yellow, green and blue
Directions
In a pot, mix the condensed milk with the chocolate until it melts. Then divide into five bowls. Mix different color food dyes into each bowl. Add the first color to a parchment-lined pan and freeze for 10 minutes. Repeat this process, layering with each color, and place in the fridge overnight. Cut into squares and enjoy!
Tips:
- Wipe the knife between cuts and run under hot water so the colors don't run.
- Add rainbow sprinkles (in the batter or on top) to make it more festive.
- Use vegan condensed milk to make it vegan.
- Frozen leftovers last for six months.
- For natural food dye, use beet powder (red), carrot juice (orange), turmeric (yellow), matcha (green) and spirulina powder (blue).
Rainbow Pancakes
Ingredients
1 cup all-purpose flour
2 tablespoons sugar
1 tablespoon baking powder
1/4 teaspoon salt
1 cup milk (dairy or plant-based)
1 egg
2 tablespoons melted butter (or oil)
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
Food coloring: red, orange, yellow, green, blue
Directions
Make the pancake batter: In a bowl, whisk together flour, sugar, baking powder and salt. In another bowl, mix milk, egg, melted butter and vanilla. Combine wet and dry ingredients until just mixed (a few lumps are okay -- don't overmix).
Divide and color: Split the batter evenly into 5 small bowls. Add a few drops of food coloring to each bowl. Stir each bowl until the color is well incorporated.
Cook the pancakes: Heat a nonstick skillet or griddle over medium heat and lightly grease it. Pour 1/4 cup of one color at a time onto the pan. Cook until bubbles form on the surface (about 2 minutes), then flip and cook the other side.
Stack and serve: Stack your pancakes in rainbow order: red, orange, yellow, green, blue. Top with whipped cream, maple syrup, or fresh fruit if desired!
Tips:
- For the perfect pancake, butter the pan and wipe off, then cook low and slow.
- For natural food dye, use beet powder (red), carrot juice (orange), turmeric (yellow), matcha (green) and spirulina powder (blue).
- Add rainbow sprinkles to the batter to make it even more festive.
- Make it vegan by using alternative milk and butter.

Directions
