Patriotic S’mores Rice Krispies Treats
Ingredients
Scale
- 6 cups red, white & blue Rice Krispies cereal
- 1 (10 oz) bag mini marshmallows (plus 1 cup extra for mix-ins)
- 4 tbsp salted butter
- 3 graham crackers, roughly crushed
- 1/2 cup red, white & blue M&M’s- regular or peanut butter
- 1/2 tsp vanilla extract
- Patriotic sprinkles for topping, optional
Instructions
- Line a 9×13″ pan with parchment and lightly grease it/spray it with nonstick cooking spray.
- In a large pot, melt the butter over medium-low heat. Add the bag of mini marshmallows and stir until smooth. Remove from the heat and stir in the vanilla extract.
- Quickly fold in the Rice Krispies cereal, followed by the crushed graham crackers, 1 cup mini marshmallows, and finally the M&M’s. Stir until just combined (don’t overmix or the M&M’s may melt and bleed).
- Press the mixture into the pan using a spatula or spoon sprayed with cooking spray. I like to lightly flatten them with a fondant smoother found- here. While still slightly warm, press the sprinkles into the top of the treats.
- Let them cool completely at room temperature before slicing into squares.
