Ingredients

  • 8 tablespoons butter unsalted
  • 2 packages (10 oz each) Jumbo marshmallows
  • 6 cups miniature marshmallows
  • 2 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1 box Rice Krispies cereal
Optional:
  • blue gel food coloring
  • red gel food coloring
  • 5 ounces red chocolate melts
  • 5 ounces Blue Chocolate Melts
  • 1/4 cup white chocolate chips
  • 2-3 tablespoons star sprinkles

Instructions

    Cup of Yum
  1. In a large saucepan, melt the butter on low heat.
  2. Add the Jumbo marshmallows and stir until completely melted, about 5-7 minutes.
  3. Stir in miniature marshmallows and remove them from heat when they are not fully melted.
  4. Add the Rice Krispies cereal and stir until well coated.
For Red, White and Blue Bars:
  1. Divide the mixture into three large bowls.
  2. 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.
  3. 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.
  4. Press the uncolored bowl of rice krispy mixture on top of the blue layer.
  5. 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.
  6. Press the red bowl of rice krispy mixture on top of the white layer.
  7. Melt the red and blue candy melts in separate bowls per package instructions.
  8. Drizzle on top of the rice Krispy treats. Top with white chocolate chips and start sprinkles.
  9. Cool. Cut into 2-inch squares and serve.
