Patriotic Red White and Blue Rice Krispies Treats Recipe

Ingredients:

  • 3 Tbsp. butter
  • 20 large marshmallows
  • 3 cups rice cereal (like Rice Krispies)
  • 2 small drops blue gel food coloring
  • Red and blue sprinkles
ingredients for patriotic red white and blue Rice Krispies treats

Supplies:

Yields: 4 (or more) star-shaped cereal treats (depending on the size of your cookie cutter)

Directions:

Coat the bottom and sides of a square pan (8 X 8 or 9 X 9) generously with butter. (NOTE: This is not part of the 3 tbsp. of butter in the ingredient list. Use additional butter to coat the pan.)

In a saucepan, over medium heat, melt butter and then add marshmallows. Allow to melt completely then remove from heat.

Add in blue gel food coloring and mix until marshmallow mixture is completely colored.

Stir in the cereal and mix until evenly coated with marshmallow mixture.

Pat the cereal treat mixture evenly into your coated pan. Top with sprinkles and pat down some more (so that the sprinkles stay in place). Allow the patriotic red white and blue treats to set.
