Ingredients

  • 5 cups Rice Krispies cereal
  • ¼ cup butter
  • 4 cups mini marshmallows about 10 ounces
  • ½ cup red meltable candies
  • ½ cup white meltable candies
  • ½ cup blue meltable candies
  • ½ cup Sprinkles As desired and can be any type of your choosing

Instructions

Preparing the Base Treat:

  • Melt the butter in a large pot over low heat. Add the mini marshmallows, stirring until completely melted and the mixture is smooth.
  • Remove the pot from heat and immediately mix in the Rice Krispies cereal until well coated.
  • Press the mixture firmly into a 9x13 inch baking pan lined with parchment paper or lightly greased. Flatten it evenly across the pan.
  • Let the Rice Krispie treat cool and set in the refrigerator for at least one hour.
  • Cutting the Treats: Once set, lift the whole treat out of the pan using the edges of the parchment paper. Place it on a cutting board and cut into squares or rectangles to your preferred size.

Decorating:

  • Melting the Candies: Separately melt the red, white, and blue meltable candies according to the package instructions. Use bowls deep enough for easy dipping.
  • Drizzle the candy melts over the marshmallow squares, one color at a time. Drizzling back and forth to create lines across the treats.
  • Place the treats onto a sheet of parchment paper. While the candy coating is still wet, sprinkle with your chosen sprinkles for a decorative touch.
  • Allow the treats to set completely at room temperature, or in the refrigerator for a faster setting.
