Line a 9x13 baking pan with a well buttered piece of parchment or wax paper. Pour marshmallows, butter and red candy melts into a large microwave safe bowl. Heat on high power for 30 second increments, stirring after each, until melted and smooth. Stir in red food coloring until the marshmallows are vibrant red. Pour in cereal and mix until well combined. Spread into an even layer in pan.
Repeat the process above using white candy melts and white food coloring. Spread the white cereal layer over the red layer. Repeat using blue candy melts and blue coloring. Spread the blue layer over the white layer. Press down on the blue layer to compact all three layers. Remove from pan and set on a silicone mat or buttered parchment paper.
Use a rolling pin to compress the cereal, spreading it out about an inch all around the rectangle. Roll up into a pinwheel from the short side. Cut into 12 slices.
