Neapolitan Krispie Treats

These are yummy and fun twist on the original Krispie Treats. I made a few changes to the recipe I found in the Taste of Home magazine -they were a big hit!

Vanilla Layer
3 tablespoons butter or margarine
1 package (10 oz.) mini marshmallows
6 cups Rice Krispies cereal

Chocolate Layer

3 tablespoons butter or margarine
1 package (10 oz.) mini marshmallows
1/2 cup mini chocolate chips
6 cups Cocoa Krispies cereal

For the Strawberry Layer  

3 tablespoons butter or margarine
1 package (10 oz.) strawberry flavored marshmallows*
6 cups Rice Krispies cereal
*if you can't find strawberry marshmallows, use a package of regular marshmallows, ½ tsp. imitation strawberry flavoring and 2-3 drops of red food coloring

Spray a straight-sided 9x13 pan with non-stick spray and line with parchment  (or use Demarle Flexiflat with steel frame).

Vanilla Layer: microwave the butter in a large bowl (or Demarle large round mold) for 30 seconds. Add the marshmallows and stir. Return to microwave for 1 minute. Stir to combine marshmallows and butter and then stir in Rice Krispies. Pour into prepared pan and press firmly with rubber spatula. Wash out your bowl (or mold) and proceed to the Chocolate Layer.

Strawberry Layer: microwave the butter in a large bowl (or Demarle large round mold) for 30 seconds. Add the marshmallows and stir. Return to microwave for 1 minute. (If using extract and food coloring, add this now). Stir to combine marshmallows and butter and then stir in Rice Krispies. Pour on top of chocolate layer and press firmly with rubber spatula. Place in refrigerator to firm up.

When the treats have cooled completely, remove them from the pan. Place them on a cutting board. Discard the parchment and cut the large rectangle into slices. Then cut each large slice into smaller squares. Enjoy!
