Ingredients
Scale
- 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: as desired, 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 9×13 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.
- Melting the Candies: Separately melt the red, white, and blue meltable candies according to the package instructions. Use bowls deep enough for easy dipping.
- Dipping the Treats: Dip each Rice Krispie square into the melted candy of your choice, covering it to your liking. Let any excess drip off.
- Place the dipped treats onto a sheet of parchment paper. While the candy coating is still wet, sprinkle with your chosen sprinkles for a decorative touch.
- Cooling: Allow the treats to set completely at room temperature, or in the refrigerator for a faster setting.
