Ingredients

1/4 cup salted butter
6 cups mini marshmallows split (5 cups to melt, 1 cup to mix in)
1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract
8 cups Rice Krispies Cereal
4 drops Red Food Coloring
1/4 cup Red Gummy Candies
1/4 cup Hershey's Red Syrup found by the ice cream toppings in the supermarket

Instructions

Coat the inside of a brain mold (or small bowl) with soft butter or non-stick cooking spray and set aside.
In a large dutch oven pot, melt the butter over medium heat. Add 5 cups of mini marshmallows and stir until the marshmallows are almost all melted. Turn the heat off and stir in the vanilla extract and red food dye.
In a large bowl, combine the Rice Krispies and 1 more cup of mini marshmallows and mix. Add the marshmallow mixture to the melted butter mixture and stir gently until combined.
Transfer to the prepared brain mold. Using the back of a spoon, spread the mixture evenly. Lightly wet or spray your hands with nonstick cooking spray and lightly pat down the Rice Krispies Treats.
Use a plate to flip the rice krispies out of the mold. Add the diced gummy candy to the top of the brain. Put the brain back into the mold and press firmly. Allow to cool at room temperature for at least 30 minutes, or until it holds its shape.
Turn the Rice Krispies brain onto a platter or serving tray. Use a basting brush to coat the "brain" with red syrup before cutting slices. Enjoy!
