Method
Bring pot to a medium heat on the stovetop, add butter and begin to melt.
Next, add 5 cups of the mini-marshmallows leaving 3 cups aside.
Stir continuously on the stovetop until the marshmallows and butter have melted and evenly combined.
Remove from heat.
Divide the the melted marshmallow mixture into 3 bowls.
Add different food coloring colors to each bowl, and mix until a desired color is achieved.
Add 2 cups of rice krispies and 1 cup of un-melted mini-marshmallows to each bowl, and mix until all of the rice krispies are coated and binding together.
Greasing your hands, pick up a small handful of rice krispie mixture, and roll into an uneven ball, and then roll into the matching colored sugar.
Place ball on parchment lined cookie sheet. Add any candy eyes, gummies or licorice lace to decorate.
Continue until you have used up all your mixtures in each color, making an array of monster designs in 3 different colors.
Let cool, and enjoy!
