Making these Black and Gold Rice Krispie Bars from scratch is easy and requires just a few simple ingredients. The key is using food coloring and decorative sprinkles to give them that striking black and gold look.

Ingredients:

• 6 cups (150g) Rice Krispies cereal
• 1/4 cup (60g) unsalted butter
• 10 oz (280g) mini marshmallows
• 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
• Black food coloring
• Gold food coloring
• Black and gold sprinkles (optional, for decoration)
• Cooking spray or parchment paper

Directions:

1. Prepare the pan: Lightly grease a 9×13-inch (23×33 cm) baking pan with cooking spray or line it with parchment paper for easy removal.
2. Melt the butter: In a large pot over medium heat, melt the butter. Once melted, add the mini marshmallows and stir continuously until completely melted and smooth.
3. Add vanilla extract: Stir in the vanilla extract. Remove the pot from heat.
4. Color the marshmallow mixture: Divide the melted marshmallow mixture into two separate bowls. Add black food coloring to one bowl and gold food coloring to the other. Mix well until each is evenly colored.
5. Mix in the Rice Krispies: Divide the Rice Krispies cereal between the two bowls and stir until the cereal is fully coated with the marshmallow mixture in each bowl.
6. Layer the mixtures: Press the black Rice Krispies mixture into the prepared pan in an even layer. Then, layer the gold Rice Krispies mixture on top, pressing down gently.
7. Decorate: Sprinkle with black and gold sprinkles if using. Let the bars cool for 1-2 hours or until set.
8. Slice and serve: Once set, remove the Rice Krispie bars from the pan and slice them into squares or rectangles.

When to Flip Rice Krispie Bars

There is no need to flip the Rice Krispie bars during preparation. Simply layer and press down gently, then allow them to set in the pan.

How to Reheat Rice Krispie Bars

Rice Krispie treats are best served fresh, but if you need to reheat them, place them in the microwave for 10-15 seconds to restore some softness. Be careful not to overheat, as they can become too sticky.

Can You Save Batter Rice Krispie Bars?

There is no batter in this recipe. However, if you have leftover marshmallow mixture or cereal mixture, you can store it in an airtight container for up to 1 day, but it is best to use it immediately for optimal texture.

Can You Freeze Rice Krispie Bars?

Yes, you can freeze these Rice Krispie bars! To freeze, wrap the bars tightly in plastic wrap, then place them in a freezer-safe bag or container. They can be frozen for up to 6 weeks. To thaw, simply let them sit at room temperature for a few hours before serving.

Editor’s Note:

For a fun variation, you can add edible glitter or metallic gold leaf for extra sparkle. These bars are easily customizable—swap out the black and gold colors to match any party theme or team colors!
