Patriotic Rice Krispie Treats

in 4th of July, Desserts, holidays, Recipes on 25/05/15

In honor of Memorial Day and the upcoming 4th of July, I decided to make these cute Patriotic Rice Krispy Treats. Aren’t they fun? 
 Love this fun twist on a old classic. The Patriotic Rice Krispie treats are so cute!They are pretty simple to make. First you’ll start melting your butter and marshmallows together. Then you’ll separate the melted mixture into 3 bowls evenly and add food coloring to two bowls. Next you’ll start adding in the rice krispies. Mix well.  (I did one bowl at a time starting with the bottom layer, that way if the marshmallows get too set you can microwave them a little bit to soften and remelt it.) Now start layering them in the 9×13 pan. I did blue, then white (plain), then red. Press them firmly so that there are not empty pockets of space.  
Love this fun twist on a old classic. The Patriotic Rice Krispie treats are so cute!
If you let each layer set up while youre mixing up the next layer it is easier to spread on the layers. After all layers and spread and pressed you’ll let them set up. This can be just an hour, I usually make them the night before because we like them better that way.
Love this fun twist on a old classic. The Patriotic Rice Krispie treats are so cute!
After they are set, you can flip them out onto parchment or wax paper and use a star shaped cookie cutter to cut them out. And yes…this took some elbow grease to get through the thick layer but I wanted to make sure I had a nice, thick, colorful treat.

For variety, you can add a stick or paper straw and make them into Patriotic Rice Krispie Pops!

    […] Red, White, and Blue Rice Crisp Treats: You’ve probably made rice crispy treats before by melting butter and mini-marshmallows in a large saucepan, then mixing in rice crisp cereal. This recipe adds a patriotic twist by using red and blue food coloring to make a third of the batch red and another third blue. Once you have your colored mixtures, press the blue treats into a greased 9×13 pan, the layer on the white/plain layer of treats, then top with the red. For extra flair, use a star cookie cutter to cut out individual treats once cooled. […]
