Step-by-Step Instructions
  1. Prepare Bain-Marie: Start by bringing ½ cup of water to a boil in a small pot over medium heat. Place a large heatproof bowl over the pot, ensuring it doesn't touch the water.
  2. Melt Ingredients: Add 2 tablespoons of unsalted butter and 4 cups of regular marshmallows to the bowl. Stir continuously for 2-4 minutes until smooth.
  3. Combine Flavorings: Remove the bowl from heat. Stir in ¼ teaspoon of salt and a few drops of red food coloring into the melted mixture.
  4. Mix Rice Bubbles: In a large mixing bowl, pour in 6 cups of Rice Bubbles. Pour the melted marshmallow mixture over the rice. Fold gently.
  5. Shape Treats: Lightly oil hands and mold the mixture into oval shapes. Use a butter knife to create dents for a brain-like appearance.
  6. Decorate: Use a toothpick dipped in food coloring to draw lines on the treats for a vein-like effect.
  7. Storage: Transfer finished treats to an airtight container and store at room temperature for up to one week.
