CANDY CORN-MARSHMALLOW CRISPY TREATS

1/4 cup butter
6 cups miniature marshmallows
12 drops yellow food coloring
4 drops red food coloring
6 cups crispy rice cereal

In a large microwaveable bowl, microwave butter on high 45 seconds or until melted.  Add the marshmallows and toss to coat.  Microwave 1 1/2 minutes or until the marshmallows are completely melted and the mixture is well blended.  Stir in the food colors after the first 45 seconds.

Add the cereal and candy corn; mix well.  Press onto the bottom of a 9 x 13-inch pan that has been sprayed with nonstick cooking spray.  Allow to cool completely before cutting into 12 bars.  Cut each bar in two diagonally.

Yield: 24 diagonals
