Mixture
- Prepare Rice Krispie Treat mixture by melting butter over medium high heat. Add marshmallows and stir constantly to melt marshmallows. If using regular Rice Krispie cereal you will now add orange food coloring to the marshmallow mixture and stir to completely incorporate. Remove from heat and add cereal. Stir until well incorporated working quickly, but gently. Working quickly spray hands with cooking spray. Even if using gloves. Roll cereal mixture into firm balls. Make an indention and add Tootsie Roll for stem. Lay on parchment. As they cool they may come apart a bit. Just press them back together as they cool and they will hold their shape.

Since they are warm then will slightly loose their shape as they sit so just gently push back together. Once they are cooled they hold their shape!
