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
- sprinkles
Instructions
- 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.
- 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.
- Separately melt the red, white, and blue meltable candies according to the package instructions. Add to different piping bags.
- Pipe each melted candy color on top of each Rice Krispie square, covering it to your liking.
- Allow the treats to set completely at room temperature, or in the refrigerator for a faster setting.
