Hello! Boy oh Boy do I have a great (and super fast) recipe for you today! Red, White and Blue rice Krispy treats! the 4th of July (if you live in America) is just a eek away, so whether your BBQing, heading to see some fireworks or just taking the holiday easy, this recipe is a perfect way to get your ‘murica on.
Super fast, I whipped these baby up in about 15 minutes, and once set (about another 15minutes) you can dig right in! I got the red & blue rice Krispy cereal from my local target (on sale too!) but you can get them at and regular grocery store, or online!
Of course, I added in some extra marshmallows (duh…) and sprinkles from sweetapolita.com but you can use whatever you happen to have on hand to decorate these cuties — red, white and blue icing would look so good on the tops of thee stars! I also used a standard star cookie cutter to cut out my star shapes, but squares or any other shape that you like works too!
I hope you enjoy these little treats and comment down below what you’ll be whipping up for the 4th of July!
See ya next time,
XO,
Danielle
