Patriotic Rice Krispie Treats

Patriotic Rice Krispie Treats

I wanted to jazz up rice krispie treats a bit for the 4th of July. Here’s how…

Patriotic Rice Krispie Treats

1 Package of marshmallows
6 Cups Rice Krispies (divided)
½ Cube of butter/margarine
Gel food coloring: red and blue
½ Cup each Red and blue Fruit Loops


Essentially this is three mini batches of rice Krispie treats stacked on top of each other.


The first batch I did in blue, so my finished product would be red, white then blue. For ease, I cut my butter into thirds, one for each recipe.


So here is the mini batch break down:

Approximately 12 Marshmallows


2 Cups of Rice Krispies


Chunk of butter/margarine

Food coloring

Fruit Loops

Melt butter, after it is fully melted add marshmallows and a few drops of food coloring until desired color is accomplished, take off the heat and add rice Krispies and Fruit Loops. Spread the mixture in greased 9x13 pan. Repeat 2 more times, omitting the food coloring and fruit loops for middle layer.

Happy Independence!
