1. Red White and Blue Rice Krispy Treats
I tried out this recipe for red, white, and blue rice krispy treats and the turned out spectacular! They were extremely easy to make and only required a few simple ingredients to make. They are just like the rice krispy treats that you loved as a kid, but perfect for your Fourth of July celebrations; all you need to do is melt the ingredients and mix them and leave them to harden. They are a delicious treat that will be a hit at your Fourth of July Party!
Ingredients: Six cups of rice krispies cereal, one package of mini marshmallows, three tablespoons of margarine or butter, red and blue food coloring.
Directions:
Gather your supplies and divide the rice krispies and marshmallows in three for the three layers (2 cups rice krispies and about 2 cups marshmallows).
Stick the marshmallows in a microwave safe bowl along with the margarine (1 TB) for a few minutes or until they start to get big and almost touch the top of the microwave. Take them out, stir well and add the food coloring until desired color. Then add the 2 cups of Rice Krispies and stir well. Press into well greased 9×9 pan.
Do this for all 3 layers starting with the blue, then white (which is just regular and requires no food coloring) and then red. Pat down all layers really well using wax paper. Let set for a bit, then cut, serve and enjoy!
