Equipment

Ingredients

1 1/2 tbsp unsalted butter
5 oz marshmallows
3 cups Rice Krispie Cereal
1 handful Red candy melts
1 handful Blue candy melts
1 handful White chocolate, roughly chopped
Red, white, and blue sprinkles
Non-stick cooking spray

Instructions

In a medium saucepan, melt the butter over low heat.
Add the marshmallows and mix until completely melted.
Remove the pan from the heat and pour in the rice cereal. Stir until the Rice Krispies are completely coated.
Transfer the mixture to a greased baking dish. Press it down with a spatula.
While still slightly warm, sprinkle the red, white, and blue sprinkles on top. Gently press them in.
Let the mixture cool completely. Cut out the treats with a star-shaped cookie cutter.
Melt the candy melts and white chocolate in the microwave.
Drizzle all three colors over the stars. You can cut a hole in the corner of a sandwich bag for drizzling.

Notes

The number of 4th of July Rice Krispie treats you'll get in this recipe will depend on your cookie cutter size.
Don't want to deal with sticky fingers? Use a wax paper sprayed with cooking spray to press the cereal mixture into the baking dish.
To melt the candy melts, microwave them at 50% power for 1 minute. Stir, then continue microwaving them in 30-second intervals, stirring until mostly melted. For the white chocolate, microwave for 30 seconds at 50% power, stir, and repeat until mostly melted.
