I made these little crispy rice marshmallow treats to bring to expo west with me to share, but as soon as I got to Anaheim, they canceled it because of rona. So, I ate all these kawaii treats in bed while watching netflix. Blogging life can be so hard.

These vegan dessert treats combine the ever popular marshmallow cereal treats with a cute shape, cute colors, and chocolate!

Ingredients for Vegan Rice Krispie Treats Recipe

(jump to the substitutions section to see ingredient details and suggestions for substitutions)

• 1 bag of mini vegan marshmallows
• 3 tablespoons coconut oil
• 4 ½ cups crispy rice cereal
• 3 colors of vegan food coloring

How to Make Vegan Marshmallow Lollipops

prep time: 90 minutes | cook time: 2 minutes

Cover the bottom of any flat container with parchment paper (If you have a 9” square brownie pan, that’s ideal, but I don’t so I used a tupperware).

Prepare your vegan food coloring if you’re using a powdered form, like Color Kitchen natural food coloring or superfood powders.

Microwave 1 tablespoon of coconut oil and 1 cup of Dandies mini marshmallows for 30 seconds, stir, and cook for 30 more seconds. If the marshmallows still aren’t melted after twice, stir, and cook for 30 more seconds.

Add one color of food coloring to the marshmallows and stir well.

Put vegan disposable gloves on your hands and then cover your gloved hands in coconut oil like you’re applying lotion to your hands. (If you don’t have disposable gloves, just rub coconut oil all over your hands.)

Add 1 ½ cups of rice krispies cereal to the melted marshmallow mixture.

Mix the ingredients with your gloved hands until the color is evenly dispersed.

Press your pastel cereal mixture into a third of the the parchment paper lined pan or tupperware, smoothing the top as much as possible. I suggest pressing the mixture down then flipping the pan over and pressing again to help get it flatter.

Remove your gloves, toss them, and set the treats somewhere safe while you start on the next color (and by safe I mean somewhere your doggo won’t “accidentally” eat it).

Repeat all steps with the next color of food coloring, and press the mixture next to the other color in the tupperware or pan, saving a third of the pan for the last color.

Repeat this again with the last color. Chill the tray in the fridge while you prepare for the next steps.

Cut out as many shapes as you can using a cookie cutter. I’ve made these with a heart-shaped cutter and a bunny-shaped cutter. Wash and dry the cookie cutter whenever it gets too sticky to easily pop the shapes out. With the bunnies, I had to wash and dry the cutter twice. With the hearts, only once.

Smash the scraps into the mold to make even more shapes. Or just eat the scraps. This is your life afterall. You choose your adventure.

Stick a lollipop stick into the bottom of each shape. If you just want little bites, you can skip the lollipop sticks.

Ingredients for Decorations for the Bunny Lollipops

• 2 dreamy bars
• vegan pastel quins sprinkles

How to Decorate the Vegan Marshmallow Bunny Lollipops

decorating time: 30 minutes

Melt 2 Amy's Dreamy candy bars in a bowl in the microwave for 30 seconds.

Stir the melted candy.

Form 2 small pea-sized eyeballs for each bunny lollipop you have.

Press eyeballs onto the bunny heads, and add a colored quin sprinkle pupil to each eye. If the melted Amy's Dreamy candy bars start to get too solid to roll into eyeballs, just pop it back into the microwave for 30 more seconds.

Wrap each bunny in cling wrap to keep the lollipops fresh longer. You can tie them with a piece of ribbon if you’re giving them as gifts.

Ingredient Substitutions

• Vegan Marshmallows: I used Dandies marshmallows to make these, but now Trader Joe’s also sells vegan marshmallows. I use the minis because they melt faster, but you can use the normal size ones if that’s all you have.
• Coconut Oil: You can replace the coconut oil with any vegan butter or margarine or even vegan shortening.
• Cereal: To keep this recipe gluten-free, make sure the cereal you use is gluten-free. The whole foods 365 brand of crispy rice cereal is organic and cheap. I’ve also made these with the Cascadian Farms Mini Fruitfuls cereal, which is like a mini organic, vegan, gluten-free version of Trix.
• Vegan Food Coloring: I used pink, green, and blue Color Kitchen natural food coloring for this recipe, but you can look at my entire list of vegan food coloring for other options.
• Vegan Dreamy Bars: Amy’s Dreamy Bars are like an organic vegan version of Milky Way. If you don’t need your rice krispie pops to have eyes, skip this ingredient.
• Vegan Sprinkles: If you decide to give your bunny pops eyes, you’ll want to find some quins sprinkles. Not all of them are vegan though, so check my list of vegan sprinkles to find some that are.
• Additional Ingredients: I made mini rainbow rice krispie treats using colored cereal and Supernatural Rainbow Baking Chips. If you want to do this, add the baking chips (or any other ingredient you want to add) at the end after the cereal and mix them in before transferring it to the pan.

Nutrition Facts

This nutrition information assumes you’re not decorating the lollipops with bunny eyes. It’s hard to say how many servings this recipe makes, since it makes 15 bunny-shaped lollipops plus scraps or 22 very tall hearts without scraps. Therefore, I’m calculating the nutritional information as if we cut a tray of these vegan rice krispie treats into 25 squares. That would be 4 cuts in both directions, for a total of 8 cuts.
