Ingredients
● 12 Cups Mini Marshmallows
● 9 Cups Rice Cereal
● 9 Tablespoons Butter
● Red Food Dye
● Blue Food Dye
● Patriotic Sprinkles
Instructions
- Spray a 9x13 pan with nonstick cooking spray and set aside.
- Place 4 cups of marshmallows and 3 tablespoons of butter in a large mixing bowl. Microwave for about 1 minute and 30 seconds or until the marshmallows are smooth when stirred and the butter has melted.
- Add a bit of the red food coloring using a spoon or toothpick. Quickly stir until no color streaks appear. If it’s not red enough, add a bit more until the correct shade is reached.
- Add 3 cups of the cereal to the bowl and mix until the cereal is fully coated.
- Add the mixture to the greased pan and spread even until it makes a nice even layer, covering the entire bottom of the pan.
- Repeat steps 2-5 for the white layer, but skip adding any coloring to it.
- Repeat steps 2-5 for the blue layer, but only add about 2 drops of the food coloring to start. It gets bright quickly. If you need more, you can add it, but don’t start with more than 2 drops.
- Sprinkle as many patriotic sprinkles over the top as you like, and lightly press down on the sprinkles so they stick to the top of the treats well.
- Cover and let sit for about 4 hours or until dry. Cut into squares and enjoy!
