Red White And Blue Rice Krispies Treats Recipes

RED, WHITE, AND BLUE RICE KRISPIES TREATS

Steps:

• Melt 2 tbsp of butter over medium-high heat, then add in the 1 1/2 cup of marshmallows.
• Once the marshmallows melt, add in a couple drops of red food coloring, then mix, until the mixture is completely red.
• Sprinkle in 1 1/4 cup of Rice Krispies, and fold in until everything is well incorporated.
• Butter a pan, and add the red layer. Be sure to spread it throughout, and pack it down to prevent any air pockets.
• Repeat the above steps, but don't add any food coloring - the white layer does not need any food coloring.
• Add the white layer on top of the red layer. Be sure to spread it throughout, and pack it down to prevent any air pockets.
• Repeat the above steps, adding a few drops of blue food coloring to make the blue Rice Krispies layer.
• Layer the blue on top of the white. Be sure to spread it throughout, and pack it down to prevent any air pockets.
• Let it cool down completely before cutting, and enjoy!

RED, WHITE AND BLUE CRISPY RICE TREATS

Steps:

• Line a 9-by-9-inch baking dish with aluminum foil, leaving a 2-inch overhang on two opposite sides. Spray the foil lightly with cooking spray.
• Divide the butter and marshmallows among 3 medium microwave-safe bowls (1 tablespoon of butter and about 2 cups of marshmallows per bowl). Microwave 1 bowl until the butter has melted and the marshmallows have puffed, about 60 seconds. Stir in the blue gel food coloring until the mixture is smooth and no streaks of food coloring remain.
• Working quickly, add 1 3/4 cups of the rice cereal to the bowl and stir with a rubber spatula until evenly coated. Transfer to the prepared baking dish and press into an even, compact layer. (Spray your hands with a little cooking spray to keep them from sticking when pressing the cereal mixture into the pan). Set aside.
• Microwave another bowl of butter and marshmallows in the same manner. Stir together until smooth and combined (this will be the "white" layer). Stir in another 1 3/4 cups of rice cereal until evenly coated. Place on top of the blue cereal treat layer, pressing until even and compact.
• Repeat with the remaining bowl of butter and marshmallows, microwaving until melted and smooth. Stir in the red gel food coloring until the mixture is smooth and no streaks of food coloring remain. Add the remaining 1 3/4 cups rice cereal to the bowl and stir until evenly coated. Place on top of the white cereal treat layer, pressing into an even, compact layer. While still warm, top evenly with the sprinkles, pressing gently so they adhere.
• Let sit at room temperature until firm, about 30 minutes. Cut into 16 squares. Store the cereal treats at room temperature in an airtight container for up to 3 days.
