Ingredients

  • 3 cups rice cereal
  • 2 small drops blue gel food coloring
  • Red and blue sprinkles

Instructions

  • Add in blue gel food coloring and mix until marshmallow mixture is completely colored.
  • Pat the cereal treat mixture evenly into your coated pan. Top with sprinkles and pat down some more (so that the sprinkles stay in place).

  • Insert a lollipop stick at the bottom and enjoy the festivities!
