Thanks to the blog My Creative Stirrings for this fun idea!  Check out her blog for great pictures and assembly instructions.

6 tablespoons margarine, divided

6 full cups mini marshmallows, divided

7 1/2 cups crispy rice cereal, divided

food coloring

butter or margarine

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 until combined.  Press into the bottom of the bread pan; set aside.  Wash the small sauce pan. 

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 sauce pan. 

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.
