Ingredients
- 3 tablespoons unsalted butter
- 1 package (10 oz) mini marshmallows
- 6 cups Rice Krispies cereal
- 1 cup red candy melts
- 1 cup white candy melts
- 1 cup blue candy melts

- Line a 9×13 inch baking dish with parchment paper. Press the red Rice Krispies mixture into the bottom of the dish evenly.
- Next, layer the white Rice Krispies mixture on top of the red layer, pressing down gently. Finally, add the blue Rice Krispies mixture on top of the white layer, pressing down to create an even surface.
- Allow the mixture to cool at room temperature for about 30 minutes. Once set, cut into squares.
- Before serving, sprinkle the top with red, white, and blue sprinkles for an extra festive touch.
Notes
- For a fun twist, try adding mini chocolate chips or nuts to the Rice Krispies mixture for added texture.
- You can also use different colors of candy melts to match any holiday or celebration theme.
