Ingredients
- 8 tablespoon butter sliced
- 12 cups mini marshmallows
- 8 cups Rice Krispy cereal
- 16 oz white frosting
- Red and blue food coloring
- festive sprinkles, candies, etc.
Instructions
- Divide half the marshmallows and half the butter into two large microwave-safe bowls.
- Microwave the first bowl for about 1-2 minutes, or until the marshmallows and butter are melted. Stir to combine. Repeat with the other bowl.
- Add red food coloring to the first bowl until desired color of red is reached. Repeat with blue coloring on next bowl.
- Add half the rice krispy cereal to the red bowl, and the other half of the cereal to the blue bowl stirring to fully combine.
- Grease two 9x13 baking pans with cooking spray. Add the red rice krispie mixture to one prepared pan and the blue rice krispie cereal mixture to the second prepared pan.
- Spray some non stick spray onto your hands and press cereal down until cereal fully coats the pan in an even layer. Repeat until both pans are filled.
- Add the festive sprinkles on top of each pan and allow to fully set up for about 40 minutes.
- Once set up, use a 3 inch star shaped cookie cutter and cut out as many stars as you can from the red and blue pans.
- Spread the white frosting on top of the blue star shapes and press a red star shape on top to form a sandwich. Continue until all the stars are combined into sandwiches. Serve!
