The 4th of July is coming up and I am trying to be especially festive so I came up with this version for a red, white and blue dessert with these Triple Decker Rice Krispy Treats.

The recipe is simple.  Butter, marshmallows, rice krispy cereal and food coloring.   Just make a batch for each color and voila – you will have a yummy and festive treat!

I hope you try these and have a fun, happy and safe 4th of July!

Triple Decker Rice Krispy Treat Recipe
Ingredients
60 large marshmallows (this was about 1 1/2 packages for me)
9 cups Rice Krispy cereal
4 1/2 T. butter
red food coloring
blue food coloring

Directions
1. Line an 8×8 square with parchment paper and spray lightly with non-stick spray.

2. In a medium saucepan melt 1 1/2 T. butter over low heat. Add 20 marshmallows and stir until completely melted. Remove from heat and add red food coloring until you get the desired red.  

3. Add cereal and stir until well coated.

4. Using buttered spatula or wax paper evenly press mixture into the pan. Cool. 

5. Repeat steps 2-4 once without food coloring for the white layer and then again with blue food coloring.
