Recipe type: Dessert
Ingredients
- 48 cups crisp rice cereal (about 6 12 oz boxes)
- 3 sticks + 2 Tbsp margarine
- 8 10oz bags mini marshmallows
- Super Red Gel food color
- Super Black Gel food color
- White Gel food color(optional)
- 6 qt stock pot
- 3" T, N Cookie Cutters
- Fat Daddio 9 x 9 x 3" pan
- Cake Sparkler or Champagne Sparkler (They are the same thing, but depending on where you are looking, they are called different names)
Instructions
- Heat 1 stick margarine over low heat in a 6 qt stock pot. When the margarine has completely melted, add 25 ounces (2.5 bags)marshmallows. Heat the marshmallows until completely melted, stirring occasionally. Remove from heat.
- Add red gel coloring until the melted marshmallows are a deep red color. Stir in 15 cups of rice cereal until it is completely covered in marshmallows. Pour the treats into a greased 9x9x3" pan. Press the treats down into an even layer with greased hands or spatula. Allow to cool.
- Repeat these steps and make a second red layer and a white layer.
TNT Letters
- Heat 2 Tbsp margarine over low heat until melted. Add 5 ounces(1/2 bag) of mini marshmallows and stir to coat. Heat the marshmallows until completely melted, stirring occasionally. Remove from heat.
- Add black gel coloring until the melted marshmallows are black in color. Stir in 3 cups of rice cereal until it is completely covered in marshmallows. Pour the treats into a greased 9x9x2" pan. Press the treats down into an even layer with greased hands or spatula. Allow to cool.
Assembling the cake
- Center one red layer of treats on a cake board.
- Cut the front 1 - 1.5" of treats off the white layer and set aside. Cut T-N-T from the black treats with the letter cookie cutters. You will need to trim the letters to match the height of the white layer.
- Stack the white layer on top of bottom red layer. Press the TNT letters into place. Use the cut white strip from above to fill in around the layers. Heat the white treats in the microwave for 5 seconds to make them more pliable if necessary.
- Cut a hole in the top red layer to fit the cake sparkler in. Stack the red layer on top. When it is time to light the cake sparkler, insert it into the hole and light.
