To make Red, White, and Krispy Treats you will need to make three separate HALF batches of Rice Krispy Treats.
{1 1/2 tbsp of butter, 2 cups of marshmallows, & 3 cups of Rice Krispies}
You also need a 9x13 pan, a 9x9 pan, a star shaped cookie cutter , and red & blue food coloring.
Start each batch by melting down your butter and marshmallows. Leave one batch plain...
...add a little bit of blue food coloring to one batch....
...and a little bit of red food coloring to the other.
Make the blue batch of Rice Krispy Treats first and put them into the 9x9 pan that has been sprayed well with cooking spray.
Next make the red batch and add it into your 9X13 pan filling up only half of the pan.
Last make your batch of plain Rice Krispy Treats and add them into the 9X13 pan with the red treats.
Once the Rice Krispy Treats have cooled, turn them out of the pans onto a cutting surface.

Using a bread knife, cut the white and red into long strips about an inch wide. I ended up with 4 strips of each color.
Place your blue treats into the top left corner of the larger pan and estimate the size that you want it to be. Trim off the excess blue treats with your knife and then place your blue square of treats into the pan.
Starting at the bottom with a red strip of treats, add in the strips alternating red and white, ending with red. I used 4 strips of red and 3 strips of white. You will have to cut the top three or four pieces to fit into the pan next to the blue treats.
Use the star shaped cookie cutter to cut a few stars out of the leftover strip of plain Rice Krispy Treats, and then add them on top of the blue section of treats.
Even though there are a lot of steps, this is actually really easy to assemble...the hardest part was washing my pot between each batch:) If you tried this recipe, please write me a comment below. I love hearing from you!
