Servings: 15 bars
Equipment
Ingredients
- 3 cups mini marshmallows
- ¼ cup salted butter
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 4 cups rice crispy cereal
- ½ cup red, white, and blue sprinkles
- 2 tablespoons star sprinkles
Instructions
- Place the marshmallows, butter, and vanilla in a medium-sized saucepan over medium-high heat. Stir the ingredients constantly until all the marshmallows have completely melted and the mixture is smooth.
- Turn off the heat and add the cereal to the pan and fold the ingredients together until the cereal is completely coated in the melted marshmallow mixture.
- Gently fold in the red, white, and blue sprinkles until they are evenly distributed throughout the mixture.
- Spread the mixture into a 9x13-inch baking dish and top with the star sprinkles.
- Allow the Rice Crispy Treats to cool in the fridge for 1 hour before cutting them into bars or shapes and serving.
Notes
- When stored in an airtight container at room temperature, these treats can stay fresh for up to 3-4 days. However, they are most delicious when consumed within the first day or two after making them.
- I find it easier to cut these into squares after they have time to cool. This also makes them less messy to
serve (which is a major help if you have little kids). - It is important to stir the mixture constantly in order to prevent marshmallows from sticking to the bottom of your pot.
