Servings 12 servings
Ingredients
- 6 tbsp butter
- 4 1/2 cup marshmallows
- 3 3/4 cup Rice Krispies
- 2-3 drops red, white, and blue food coloring
Instructions
Red Rice Krispies Layer
- Melt 2 tbsp of butter over medium-high heat, then add in the 1 1/2 cup of marshmallows.
- Once the marshmallows melt, add in a couple drops of red food coloring, then mix, until the mixture is completely red.
- Sprinkle in 1 1/4 cup of Rice Krispies, and fold in until everything is well incorporated.
- Butter a pan, and add the red layer. Be sure to spread it throughout, and pack it down to prevent any air pockets.
White Rice Krispies Layer
- Repeat the above steps, but don't add any food coloring - the white layer does not need any food coloring.
- Add the white layer on top of the red layer. Be sure to spread it throughout, and pack it down to prevent any air pockets.
Blue Rice Krispies Layer
- Repeat the above steps, adding a few drops of blue food coloring to make the blue Rice Krispies layer.
- Layer the blue on top of the white. Be sure to spread it throughout, and pack it down to prevent any air pockets.
- Let it cool down completely before cutting, and enjoy!
