I wonder if you use Cocoa krispies would you need the food coloring?

Unless you wanted it to look like lignite, yes.

We(my wife that is) made a couple of batches to take to the family Christmas Party. We put a twist on the Krisped Rice. We bought a package of Reese's Puff and made the batch that way, we wanted the peanut butter flavor, you could also use Coco Puffs . When we placed the lumps on the cookie sheet to dry we found out something, they maintained their odd shap but had a flat bottom. And lo and behold they looked like goat/deer droppings. So guess what we ended up calling them---Yup Reindeer droppings. They went over big with the kids. What kids wouldn't want soemthing gross(eating droppings), yet tasted like peanut butter, and chocolat. the saying was "Santas' Reindeer left a little present for us this year!" Remeber to keep in the black food coloring.
