Main Ingredients Needed
This is an overview of the ingredients and instructions. Be sure to see the recipe card below for exact quantities, detailed instructions and special notes.

Step-by-Step Instructions
Step 1 | Prepare the Rice Krispie Treats
- First, push the colorful straws into the centers of each Rice Krispie Treat.
- Set aside while you melt the chocolate.
Step 2 | How to melt White Chocolate Chips
- The best way to melt white chocolate is to use a double boiler. By melting the chocolate over simmering water, you can control the temperature more easily and prevent the chocolate from burning.
- Be careful not to overcook the chocolate, or it will become burnt and unusable.


Step 3 | Decorate the Treats
- Once the chocolate chips are melted, you can begin dipping the Rice Krispie Treats. Only dip half of the treat in the melted chocolate.
- Immediately dip the treats into the colored sprinkles.
- Set them on a baking rack or a baking tray lined with parchment paper to completely dry.

Recipe FAQ's
Make sure you melt the butter and marshmallows over low heat. If you rush the process, that will lead to hard cereal treats after they've cooled and set.
It's best to wait an hour for the treats to cool completely, but you could start to enjoy them after they have had 30 minutes to cool and set.
Recipe Variations
- Add food coloring to the melted chocolate. Or try using different colored melting chips such as blue melting chips or red melting chips.

Storage Tips
- Place the Patriotic Rice Krispie Treats in an air-tight container layered with waxed or parchment paper to keep them from sticking to each other.
- You could even wrap them individually in plastic candy/treat bags.
- Store the treats at room temperature; not in the refrigerator.
- I do not recommend freezing this recipe.
