Method
 

Step-by-Step Instructions
  1. Prepare your baking dish by lining the bottom with parchment paper and lightly spraying it with non-stick cooking spray.
  2. In a large saucepan over low heat, melt 3 tablespoons of butter and add mini marshmallows, stirring until smooth.
  3. Remove from heat and add in the Rice Krispies, gently folding until well-coated.
  4. Divide the mixture into three portions: one plain, one with red gel food coloring, and one with yellow gel food coloring.
  5. Press the mixtures into layers: red on bottom, yellow in the middle, plain on top, and let cool for at least 15 minutes.
  6. Once cooled, cut into long rectangle bars that resemble rulers.
  7. Melt white candy melts and chocolate chips separately in the microwave, stirring until smooth.
  8. Use melted chocolate to create markings and white candy melts for the 'metal edge'.
  9. Using a black edible marker or gel, write numbers and lines for an authentic look.
  10. Allow decorations to set completely before serving or wrapping for later enjoyment.
