The kids just love these 4th of July rice krispie treats! They are fun, tasty, frugal, and easy to make. Let's jazz up the easy rice krispie treats recipe.
We'll make the rice krispie treats in 3 different batches.
Melt 3 tablespoons of butter on low heat in a large saucepan. Add 5 cups of mini marshmallows and stir until completely melted. Add a few drops of blue food coloring to the melted marshmallow mix. Stir until well combined. Remove from heat and add 4 cups of rice krispies cereal. Mix until completely coated. Spread evenly in prepared pan.
Wash out your saucepan and repeat the above steps, leaving out the food coloring. Spread into pan on top of blue layer.
Wash your saucepan again and repeat the steps, adding red food coloring to the marshmallow mix. remember to add the food coloring BEFORE the rice krispies cereal. Spread red rice krispie mixture on top of "plain" layer.
Cut and serve. These are best eaten the same day you make them.
