🧁 How to Make Glow-in-the-Dark Rice Krispies Treats
Step 1: Prep the Glowing Mixture
Heat the tonic water in a small saucepan until warm (not boiling). Add the unflavored gelatin and stir until fully dissolved. This will be your glowing magic! Set it aside.
Step 2: Make the Marshmallow Base
In a large saucepan, melt the butter over low heat. Add marshmallows and stir until smooth and gooey.
Once melted, mix in your glowing gelatin liquid and a few drops of neon food coloring. Stir until fully combined. You’ll already see the mixture take on a vibrant, electric hue!
Step 3: Add the Cereal
Quickly stir in the Rice Krispies cereal until well coated. For an even glow, work quickly so the cereal gets evenly mixed.
Step 4: Shape and Set
Press the mixture into a greased 9x13-inch pan or mold into fun shapes (ghosts, stars, circles—you name it!). Let cool at room temperature for 30–45 minutes.
💡 Make It Glow Like Crazy
Turn off the lights, flip on a blacklight, and watch your dessert come alive! The quinine in the tonic water glows blue-white under UV light, and when combined with neon food coloring, it creates an incredible glowing treat.
🎉 Creative Variations
Glow-in-the-dark pops: Insert sticks into the treats and wrap in glow-colored cellophane.
Party platter: Serve with glow sticks, glowing drinks, and blacklight balloons.
Glow bombs: Roll into bite-sized balls and dust with edible glowing glitter.
⚠️ Important Tips
These treats won’t glow in total darkness without a blacklight.
Always make sure any glowing additions (like glitter) are labeled edible and food-safe.
Tonic water has a slightly bitter taste, but the marshmallows mask it nicely.
