Independence Rice Krispie Treats
Ingredients
- 5 cups rice Krispies cereal
- 4 cups mini marshmallows (around 10 oz)
- 1/2 cup blue candy melts
- 1/2 cup red candy melts
- 1/2 cup white candy melts
- 1/4 cup butter
- sprinkles example: blue, red, white, stars
Instructions
The base:
- Melt the butter in a large pot over low heat. Add the mini marshmallows, stirring continuously until fully melted and smooth.
- Remove the pot from the heat and immediately fold in the Rice Krispies cereal, ensuring it's evenly coated.
- Press the mixture firmly into a parchment-lined or lightly greased 9x13-inch baking pan, spreading it out evenly.
- Let the Rice Krispie treat cool and set in the refrigerator for at least an hour.
Cutting the treats:
- Once the mixture has set, lift it from the pan using the parchment paper edges. Transfer it to a cutting board and slice into squares or rectangles, depending on your preference.
The candy:
- Melt the red, white, and blue candy melts separately, following the instructions on the package. Use deep bowls for easy dipping.
Coating:
- Dip each Rice Krispie square into the melted candy, coating it as much as you like. Let any excess drip off before placing it onto a sheet of parchment paper.
- While the coating is still wet, sprinkle on your desired decorations for a festive touch.
- Allow the candy coating to fully set at room temperature, or speed up the process by chilling the treats in the refrigerator.
