A. Nope, food coloring shouldn’t alter the taste at all. Just add it during the melting-the-marshmallows step (before pouring in the cereal) for best results!
For a fun Halloween twist on the original recipe, try adding a little orange food coloring, and then drizzling over some melted chocolate (put the chocolate in a Ziploc and slice off the corner to create a makeshift piping bag). Add some candy corn as shown, and enjoy day-of (Rice Krispies Treats don’t hold up particularly well for more than a day).
Tip: When pressing the mix into the pan, use a buttered spatula or wax paper so that it doesn’t stick to your hands.
