I recently came across this recipe and knew I just had to give it a try! While making these, I found I had no chocolate chips - thanks to a very helpful neighbor (hi heidi d.) I was able to complete this wonderful recipe.
This is a kid-friendly recipe, just be sure to have an adult help at the stovetop.
Neapolitan Crispy Bars
Ingredients:
1 package (10 ounces) large marshmallows, divided
3 tablespoons butter, divided
2 cups chocolate-flavored crisp rice cereal
1/2 cup miniature semisweet chocolate chips
4 cups crisp rice cereal, divided
1/2 cup strawberry preserves
5 drops red food coloring
In a large saucepan, combine a third of the marshmallows (about 2 cups or 18 mallows) and 1 tablespoon butter. Cook and stir over medium-low heat until melted. Remove from the heat; stir in chocolate-flavored cereal and chocolate chips. Press into a greased 8x8 dish.
In a large saucepan, combine a third of the marshmallows and 1 tablespoon butter. Cook and stir over medium-low heat until melted. Remove from the heat; stir in 2 cups rice cereal. Press into dish over chocolate layer.
In a large saucepan, combine remaining marshmallows and butter. Cook and stir over medium-low heat until melted. Remove from the heat; stir in preserves and food coloring. Stir in remaining cereal. Press into the dish. Cool. Cut into bars. Yield: 1 dozen.

I didn't use the food coloring, because I was all out, but I would highly recommend using it for presentation purposes. It makes it a richer red color, the preserves just don't give it a good coloring.
