    orange zested rainbow crispies

    You know the weekend was a good one when the whole household is passed out sleeping by 9 pm. In the living room, on the couches, in front of the television.

    These last couple weeks have been an exciting whirlwind, and this weekend that kept going - our schedule was full from morning to night both days. I am in no way complaining, because we had a great time.

    So many great times.

    One of them was a going away party for a dear friend who is moving back home, back to Missouri. The party was as epic and fabulous as she is - she broke her own rule of "there will be no crying". Friends flew in to surprise her. Several bands played. There was grilling and a huge table full of food.

    I brought desserts. They had to be colorful, they had to be over the top.

    These were definitely a hit and did not last long.

    inspired by this recipe

    vegan, dairy free

    makes 9-12 squares

    2 tablespoons butter (Earth Balance) 
    10 oz package marshmallows (Dandies vegan!)
    zest of 1 orange
    1-2 droppers Orange NuStevia

    6 cups Trix cereal

    Zest the orange (grapefruit zest is good also), set aside. Melt butter in saucepan, add marshmallows and orange stevia. Stir over medium heat until melted. Remove from heat, add rice puffs, stir until combined. Add orange zest, mix completely. Press into prepared pan (9×9 square makes tall rice crispies!) cover and let set. 

    Safe travels, Jeni Mae. Have grand adventures and we will see you soon!

        hi Heather,

        I added the orange flavor and zest for more citrus flavor, to enhance the flavor in the cereal.

      What a totally cool and fun idea! At first I wasn't quite sure what they were, so I zoomed in the picture and read the recipe... when I got to marshmallows and Trix, my brain clicked and went YUM. Cheers! =)

        isn't it such a bright thing, compared to the normal crispie? I may never make the plain colored crispie again! and cheers to you!
