- 1/2 tsp Salt Enhances sweetness

Instructions
Preparation
- Fill a medium saucepan with ½ cup of water and bring it to a gentle boil.
- Place a heatproof bowl over the saucepan to create a bain-marie.
- In the heatproof bowl, add the butter and marshmallows. Melt slowly, stirring with a whisk until smooth and glossy.
- Once melted, remove the bowl from heat. Whisk in the salt and add 2-3 drops of red food coloring.
Mixing
- Pour the marshmallow mixture over the Rice Krispies in a large mixing bowl. Stir quickly to coat the cereal evenly.
Shaping
- Oil your hands lightly and take portions of the mixture to shape into oval forms.
- Use a butter knife to carve a groove down the center of each oval.
- Dip a toothpick in more food coloring to draw vein patterns on the surfaces.
Notes
