6 tablespoons margarine, divided
6 full cups mini marshmallows, divided
7 1/2 cups crispy rice cereal, divided

Measure 2 1/2 cups crispy cereal and place in a large bowl; set aside.
Grease one large and one small piece of waxed paper. Line a large bread
pan with the large piece, greased side up; set aside.
In a small sauce pan combine 2 tablespoons margarine and 2 full cups of
mini marshmallows just until melted. Stir in cereal from the large bowl

Measure 2 1/2 cups cereal and place in a large bowl; set aside. In the
small saucepan combine 2 tablespoons margarine, 2 drops red food
coloring and 3 drops yellow, and 2 full cups of mini marshmallows just
until melted. Stir in cereal from the large bowl until combined. Press
into the bread pan on top of the white layer; set aside. Wash the small

In the small saucepan combine 2 tablespoons margarine, 5 drops yellow
food coloring and 2 full cups of mini marshmallows just until melted.
Stir in the remaining cereal until combined. Press into the bread pan
on top of the orange layer. The mixture will not all fit in the bread
pan.
Place the small piece of wax paper on top of the krispie treat, greased
side down. Flip the entire treat upside down to help form the top layer
and place back into the pan to allow it to set for 1-2 hours or
overnight. Un-wrap the krispie treat. On a cutting board slice the treat into three long sections. Take each of the three segments and slice into triangles.
