Crafting Your Team Colors: The Foundation of Rams Rice Krispie Bites

This approach ensures rich, distinct colors that truly pop on your party table. The process is straightforward, allowing you to focus on the fun of creating these festive snacks.
Starting with a reliable base recipe is key to perfect Rice Krispie Treats. Our recipe has been refined over the years to achieve an unparalleled balance of chewiness and crunch, making it truly the best we’ve ever tasted. We’ll guide you through each step, from melting marshmallows to adding the final touch of team spirit. The beauty of Rice Krispie Treats lies in their simplicity and the minimal ingredients required, making them accessible even for novice bakers.
The Best Ever Rice Krispie Treat Base: Your Recipe for Success
At the heart of our Los Angeles Rams Rice Krispie Bites is our incredibly adaptable and delicious Rice Krispie Treat recipe. We’ve fine-tuned this classic over countless batches, ensuring that every bite delivers that perfect balance of chewy marshmallow and crispy cereal. The secret lies in the precise ratio of butter to marshmallows and the timing of each step, resulting in a treat that’s neither too sticky nor too dry, but just right.
This base recipe is not only perfect for team-themed bites but also serves as a fantastic foundation for countless other variations. Its simplicity makes it a go-to for quick desserts, school treats, or anytime you need a crowd-pleasing snack. We’ll delve into the specifics of this award-winning method, providing you with all the essential directions to achieve these delectable treats consistently. Once you master this base, your culinary creativity will know no bounds.
Creating the Iconic Navy Blue Bites
Let’s start with the dominant and distinguished navy blue, a cornerstone of the Los Angeles Rams’ color scheme. For this batch, you’ll begin by preparing a standard 3-cup portion of our Rice Krispie Treat mixture, which typically calls for 3 tablespoons of butter, 3 cups of mini marshmallows, and 3 cups of Rice Krispies cereal. The crucial step for achieving that deep, rich navy is to add your food coloring *before* you incorporate the Rice Krispie Cereal.
For this specific shade of Navy, we rely on the precise control offered by the Wilton Color Right Food Coloring System. Our recommended combination for this striking color is 8 drops of Blue and 2 drops of Red. Mix these thoroughly into the melted marshmallow mixture until the color is uniform and vibrant. This method ensures that the color is evenly distributed throughout your treats, creating a consistent and appealing navy hue. Once colored, gently fold in the cereal until every piece is coated.
After mixing, allow the navy Rice Krispie Treat mixture to cool slightly. It should be cool enough to handle comfortably but still warm and pliable. This is the optimal temperature for shaping. To ensure uniform Rice Krispie Bites, we recommend measuring out approximately 0.5 oz of the mixture on a food scale for each bite. Then, using lightly buttered hands (to prevent sticking), roll each portion into a smooth, compact ball. From a 3-cup batch, you should be able to make approximately 18 perfectly sized navy Rice Krispie Treat Bites. Set them aside to cool completely before storing or serving.
Crafting the Crisp White Bites
Next up, the clean and classic white bites, symbolizing the pristine background of the Rams logo. The process for creating these is wonderfully straightforward. Follow the exact same directions as outlined for the navy batch: melt 3 tablespoons of butter, then add and melt 3 cups of mini marshmallows. The only difference here is that you will *not* add any food coloring to this mixture. Maintain its natural, appealing white color.
Once the marshmallow mixture is melted, remove it from the heat and stir in 3 cups of Rice Krispie Cereal until it’s thoroughly coated. Again, allow the mixture to cool to a manageable temperature. Use your food scale to portion out 0.5 oz of the mixture for each bite, and roll them into perfect spheres with buttered hands. These white bites will provide a beautiful contrast to the navy and gold, making your entire spread visually dynamic. You’ll yield approximately 18 white Rice Krispie Treat Bites from this batch.
Making the Brilliant Gold Bites
No Rams-themed treat spread is complete without a touch of radiant gold! For your gold Rice Krispie Bites, you’ll once again follow the foundational steps. Begin by melting 3 tablespoons of butter, followed by 3 cups of mini marshmallows. Just like with the navy, the key to vibrant gold is to add your food coloring to the melted marshmallow mixture *before* you add the Rice Krispie Cereal.
To achieve this gleaming gold shade, we recommend adding 5 drops of Yellow and 1 drop of Orange food coloring. Mix thoroughly until the marshmallow mixture boasts a consistent, shimmering gold hue. Once the color is perfect, gently fold in 3 cups of Rice Krispie Cereal, ensuring every piece is enveloped in the golden marshmallow. Allow the mixture to cool slightly until it’s easy to handle. Measure out 0.5 oz portions and roll them into smooth, round bites with buttered fingers. This batch will also yield around 18 sparkling gold Rice Krispie Treat Bites, completing your Los Angeles Rams color palette.
The Perfect Game Day Treat: Serving and Storage Tips
Once you’ve crafted all three batches of your Los Angeles Rams Rice Krispie Bites – navy, white, and gold – allow them to cool completely and set before storing or arranging them for your party. Proper cooling ensures they maintain their shape and firm texture. These treats are incredibly versatile and make for a fantastic Game Day or Super Bowl party snack, especially because they can be made well in advance, taking some pressure off your last-minute party preparations.
For storage, simply place the cooled Rice Krispie Bites in an airtight container at room temperature. They will remain fresh and delicious for several days. For longer storage, Rice Krispie Treats freeze exceptionally well! Simply place them in an airtight, freezer-safe container, and they’ll be ready to thaw and enjoy whenever the next big game rolls around. This makes them perfect for batch cooking and having a stash of team spirit on hand.

Yield: 45-50 Bites
Yummy, bite-sized balls of crunchy, marshmallow-y delight – these Los Angeles Rams Rice Krispie Bites are an easy to make football party treat, perfect for any game day celebration!
Ingredients:
- Kellogg’s Rice Krispies Cereal
- Butter (We recommend Salted, Sweet Cream Butter for best flavor)
- Mini Marshmallows (they melt more evenly)
- Wilton Color Right Food Coloring System – Blue (for Navy)
- Wilton Color Right Food Coloring System – Red (for Navy)
- Wilton Color Right Food Coloring System – Yellow (for Gold)
- Wilton Color Right Food Coloring System – Orange (for Gold)
Directions:
To create the full Los Angeles Rams color spectrum, you will need to prepare three separate batches of the Rice Krispie Treat mixture: one for Navy, one for Gold, and one for White.
Detailed Directions for a Single Batch of Rice Krispie Bites (Approx. 18 Bites):
- In a medium-sized non-stick pan, melt 3 tablespoons of butter over low heat. Ensure the butter is fully melted but not browned.
- Add 3 cups of mini marshmallows to the melted butter. Continue to stir constantly until the marshmallows are completely melted and smooth, forming a glossy mixture. Remove the pan from the heat immediately once fully melted.
- For Colored Batches (Navy or Gold): At this stage, add your desired food coloring. For Navy, mix in 8 drops of Blue and 2 drops of Red. For Gold, mix in 5 drops of Yellow and 1 drop of Orange. Stir vigorously until the color is evenly distributed and vibrant. For White batches, skip this step.
- Quickly add 3 cups of Kellogg’s Rice Krispies Cereal to the marshmallow mixture. Using a spatula or wooden spoon, gently fold and mix until all the cereal is thoroughly coated with the marshmallow mixture. Be careful not to crush the cereal too much.
- Allow the Rice Krispie Mixture to cool slightly for about 5-10 minutes. It should be warm enough to be malleable but cool enough to handle comfortably without burning your hands.
- Lightly butter your hands or a piece of parchment paper to prevent sticking. Measure out approximately 0.5 oz (about 14 grams) of the Rice Krispie mixture using a food scale.
- Gently roll each measured portion into a smooth, compact ball. Place the finished bites on a sheet of parchment paper or a greased baking sheet.
- Allow the Rice Krispie Bites to cool completely and set at room temperature for at least 30 minutes before storing or serving.
- Repeat these steps for the remaining two team colors to complete your festive Los Angeles Rams Rice Krispie Bites!
