  • Total Time: 20 minutes
  • Yield: 12 servings 1x

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

  1. 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.
  2. Remove the pot from heat and immediately mix in the Rice Krispies cereal until well coated.
  3. Press the mixture firmly into a 9×13 inch baking pan lined with parchment paper or lightly greased. Flatten it evenly across the pan.
  4. Let the Rice Krispie treat cool and set in the refrigerator for at least one hour.
  5. 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.
  6. Melting the Candies: Separately melt the red, white, and blue meltable candies according to the package instructions. Use bowls deep enough for easy dipping.
  7. 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.
  8. 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.
  9. Cooling: Allow the treats to set completely at room temperature, or in the refrigerator for a faster setting.
