2 cups crispy rice cereal
Blue food coloring

For the white layer

2 tablespoons unsalted butter
2 cups mini marshmallows
2 cups crispy rice cereal

Press the blue mixture firmly into the bottom of the pan with a buttered spatula or wax paper.
Make the white layer the same way using butter, marshmallows, and cereal, but without food coloring. Gently press it evenly over the blue layer.

Serve right away, or chill briefly for a firmer bite.

Tips

Butter your hands or spatula so the cereal mixture presses down without sticking.
Let each layer cool for 2 to 3 minutes before adding the next so the colors stay cleaner.
Add the popsicle garnish just before serving for the best look.
For extra neat squares, chill the pan for 15 minutes before slicing.
