Method
 

Step‑by‑Step Instructions
  1. Prepare Bain-Marie: Boil ½ cup of water in a small pot over medium heat. Place a heatproof bowl on top, ensuring it fits snugly without touching the water.
  2. Melt Ingredients: Add 4 tablespoons of unsalted butter and 4 cups of regular marshmallows into the bowl. Stir continuously for 2-4 minutes until smooth and glossy.
  3. Add Seasoning: Carefully remove the bowl from heat. Mix in a pinch of salt and 1-2 teaspoons of red food coloring, stirring until evenly distributed.
  4. Combine with Rice Bubbles: In a large bowl, pour 6 cups of Rice Bubbles. Pour the warm marshmallow mixture over and combine quickly with a spatula.
  5. Shape Treats: Lightly oil your hands and shape the mixture into oval brains, about 2-3 inches long, creating a dent in the center.
  6. Decorate: Use a toothpick dipped in food coloring to draw veins in the center indentation of each brain.
  7. Storage: Transfer treats into an airtight container. Store at room temperature for up to one week.
