Equipment
- Microwave-safe bowl one for each color of candy melts
- Spoon you can use spoons or pipiing bags to drizzle melted candy
- Piping bags you can use spoons or pipiing bags to drizzle melted candy
Ingredients
- 5 cups Rice Krispies cereal
- ¼ cup butter
- 4 cups mini marshmallows about 10 ounces
- ½ cup Red candy melts
- ½ cup White candy melts
- ½ cup Blue candy melts
- Red white and blue sprinkles
Instructions
- Line a baking sheet with parchment paper or use non-stick cooking spray to grease it.
- In a large pot, melt the butter over low heat. You want to use low heat so the butter does not burn.
- Once the butter is completely melted, add the mini marshmallows, stirring until completely melted and the mixture is smooth.
- Remove the pot from the heat and gently stir in the Rice Krispies cereal until it is all well coated with the marshmallow mixture.
- Press the cereal mixture into the baking sheet in an even layer.
- Allow the pan of rice krispies treats to cool for 1 hour until they have set up.
- Once set, lift the whole thing out of the pan using the edges of the parchment paper. Cut into rectangles or squares.
- Melt each color of candy melt at 50% power in 30 second increments, stirring in between, until they're completely melted.
- Use a spoon or piping bag to drizzle the red white and blue melted candy over each of the crispy rice treats.
- While the melted candy is still wet, sprinkle each pretzel with sprinkles.
- Allow the treats to cool at room temperature until the candy melts are set.
Notes
Notes: Store leftover treats in an airtight container at room temperature for 2 to 3 days. Put a piece of parchment or wax paper between each of the treats to prevent them from sticking together.
