Yesterday the kids and I got into the spirit of the 4th and decided to make some rice krispy treats with a red, white and blue spin. We followed the basic recipe for rice krispy treats but added some red and blue M&M's and candy sticks to make them less sticky to eat. They are an incredible easy dessert to make for the 4th and who doesn't love a good rice krispy treat?
Ingredients:
3 Tablespoons butter
6 cups Rice Krispies
40 regular marshmallows
Red and blue M&M's (pulled from a regular bag)
Star cookie cutter
Candy sticks
How To Make:
1. Melt the butter in a large sauce pan on low heat.
2. Add the marshmallows and mix continuously until they are all melted.
3. In a large mixing bowl, mix the cereal and marshmallows together until all the cereal is covered
4. Mix in the M&M's
5. Flatten mixture on a rimmed baking sheet that has been lined with butter or nonstick cooking spray
6. Let cool until completely cooled
7. Cut out star shapes with the cookie cutter
8. Place the candy stick into the star and enjoy!
