Ingredients:

For the Rind

- 1 1/2 Tbsp salted butter
- 2 1/2 cups miniature marshmallows
- Green food coloring
- 2 cups Rice Krispies cereal

For the Center

- 2 Tbsp salted butter
- 3 1/2 cups miniature marshmallows
- Pink or red food coloring
- 3 cups Rice Krispies cereal
- 2 tsp mini chocolate chips

Directions:

Spray a 9-inch round cake pan with non-stick cooking spray, set aside.

For the rind portion, melt 1 1/2 Tbsp butter in a medium non-stick saucepan over medium-low heat.

Add in 2 1/2 cups marshmallows and green food coloring and cook and stir just until marshmallows have melted.

For the center portion, melt 1 1/2 Tbsp butter in a medium non-stick saucepan over medium-low heat.

Add in 2 1/2 cups marshmallows and red food coloring and cook and stir just until marshmallows have melted.

Remove from heat and mix in 2 cups Rice Krispies, stir until evenly coat.

Pour into prepared baking dish and let cool just slightly (so it's not too hot to the touch), spray hands with non-stick cooking spray and spread and press mixture around outer edge to create a rind that is no more than 1-inch thick.

Remove red colored mixture from heat and stir in 3 cups Rice Krispies.

Pour into center of cake pan and once cool enough to handle spray hands with non-stick cooking spray and spread into an even layer.

Let cool then sprinkle and press chocolate chips randomly over pink portion.

Cut into 6 - 8 wedges.

Put one popsicle stick in each wedge.

Enjoy! You can store these treats for later in an airtight container.
