American Flag Krispy Treats ~Rice Krispy Treats are a favorite quick snack for many kids and nothing makes Rice Krispy Treats better than dressing them up for the holidays with a little bit of food coloring:)

Ingredients

  • White:
  • 1 1/2 tbsp of butter
  • 2 cups of marshmallows
  • 3 cups of Rice Krispies
  • Red:
  • 1 1/2 tbsp of butter
  • 2 cups of marshmallows
  • 3 cups of Rice Krispies
  • Red food coloring
  • Blue:
  • 1 1/2 tbsp of butter
  • 2 cups of marshmallows
  • 3 cups of Rice Krispies
  • Blue food coloring

Instructions

  1. Start each half batch by melting down your butter and marshmallows. Leave one batch plain.
  2. Add a little bit of blue food coloring to one half batch
  3. Add a little bit of red food coloring to the other half batch
  4. Make the blue batch of Rice Krispy Treats first and put them into the 9x9 pan that has been sprayed well with cooking spray.
  5. Next make the red batch and add it into your 9X13 pan filling up only half of the pan.
  6. Last make your batch of plain Rice Krispy Treats and add them into the 9X13 pan with the red treats.
  7. Once the Rice Krispy Treats have cooled, turn them out of the pans onto a cutting surface.
  8. Using a bread knife, cut the white and red into long strips about an inch wide. I ended up with 4 strips of each color.
  9. Place your blue treats into the top left corner of the larger pan and estimate the size that you want it to be. Trim off the excess blue treats with your knife and then place your blue square of treats into the pan.
  10. Starting at the bottom with a red strip of treats, add in the strips alternating red and white, ending with red. I used 4 strips of red and 3 strips of white. You will have to cut the top three or four pieces to fit into the pan next to the blue treats.
  11. Use a star shaped cookie cutter to cut a few stars out of the leftover strip of plain Rice Krispy Treats, and then add them on top of the blue section of treats.

  6. Adorable! I’m thinking that this will be a fun recipe for the kiddos to help make for our 4th of July get together. And seriously… who doesn’t love a huge pan of Rice Krispies?! Thank you for sharing!

    Cheers,

  10. Such a clever idea! This would be perfect to serve at a party in the town I live in which hosts the oldest 4th of July parade in the country. Even our main road downtown has a red, white and blue strip down the middle. 🙂

    Thanks for sharing.

  11. This looks like it would be almost as much fun to make as to eat. It would also be a great project for my granddaughter to help with. That is if I can pry that phone out of her hands! Thank you for sharing with us this week at Celebrate Your Story, and I hope your week is going great.

  14. O say can you see! 😉 What fun. And considerably easier than the flag buttercream cake with all the fruit arranged just so I used to make back in the days when I had time for complicated baking projects. Which is to say, not now. Happy summer, Marilyn!
