Tons of fun and so easy to make! These are the perfect summer fun food for Labor Day, Memorial Day, Fourth of July or just for fun! Come on in and I’ll show you how to make these fun Red, White & Blue Rice Krispies Treats with my short cut method:
The kids loved these so much. They love anything with a stick. They were even hiding them from their sisters and brothers for after school treats or a fun snack in their lunches.
Here’s what you’ll need for this fun food:
(makes 8 pops)
- 6 cups of rice cereal
- 4 cups of fresh mini marshmallows
- 3 Tbsp. of butter
- red food coloring
- blue food coloring
- 5 oz. plastic cups
- straws
Now:
- In a medium saucepan, melt the butter
- Add the marshmallows and stir until melted
- Remove from heat
- Divide the marshmallow mixture evenly, into 3 bowls
- Add blue food coloring to one bowl and stir
- Add red food coloring to another bowl and stir
- Leave one alone
- Divide the cereal evenly into the three bowls and stir until the cereal is coated with the marshmallow mixture
- Spoon the mixtures into the plastic cups layering with white (ish), then red and blue – 1 heafty Tbsp. of each color should do the trick
- Grab a straw and insert it into the middle
- Once the mixture has cooled, cut away the cups
That’s It!
You are done, my friend!
