Instructions
- In a large saucepan, melt the butter on low heat.
- Add the Jumbo marshmallows and stir until completely melted, about 5-7 minutes.
- Stir in miniature marshmallows and remove them from heat when they are not fully melted.
- Add the Rice Krispies cereal and stir until well coated.
For Red, White and Blue Bars:
- Divide the mixture into three large bowls.
- Add about 6 drops of blue gel food coloring to one bowl, and using a spatula, mix it into the rice crispy treats mixture until fully combined and blue.
- Using a buttered spatula, press the blue rice krispy mixture into a 13 x 9 x 2-inch pan coated with cooking spray or layered with parchment paper. Layering with parchment paper is better, as it makes removal from the pan much easier.
- Press the uncolored bowl of rice krispy mixture on top of the blue layer.
- Add about six drops of red gel food coloring to the remaining bowl, and using a spatula, mix into the rice crispy treats mixture until thoroughly combined and red if the mixture starts to harden and is hard to work with, microwave for 1-2 minutes.
- Press the red bowl of rice krispy mixture on top of the white layer.
- Melt the red and blue candy melts in separate bowls per package instructions.
- Drizzle on top of the rice Krispy treats. Top with white chocolate chips and start sprinkles.
- Cool. Cut into 2-inch squares and serve.
