Melt each color of candy wafers in the painter’s palette according to package instructions. Use a brush from the painter’s palette to paint the details in each of the mold cavities with melted candy wafers. Chill 1-2 minutes between each color. Fill mold cavities with desired back color of melted wafers. Chill molds 10-15 minutes.

Meanwhile melt margarine in large saucepan on low heat. Add marshmallows and stir on medium-low heat until melted. Once marshmallows are melted, remove from heat. Stir in crisped rice cereal. Spoon mixture into baking dish sprayed with non-stick spray. Press mixture into the pan firmly. Set aside 30 minutes, then cut into 2¼" squares.

Melt one color of candy wafers in a microwaveable tray according to package instructions. Wearing candymaking gloves, dip one side of each cereal square into the melted wafers. Place on waxed paper lined tray. Chill 10-15 minutes. Repeat this step with each color of melted wafers coating a different side of the square (the bottom side can be left uncoated).

Once cereal squares are completely coated on 5 sides, dab a small amount of melted wafers onto the back of a molded candy piece and attach to one side of each square. Hold in place 2-3 seconds to secure.
