Ingredients

6 cups Rice Krispies cereal

4 cups mini marshmallows

1 cup mini marshmallows (reserved)

1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract

1/4 teaspoon salt

1/2 cup red, white, and blue candy-coated chocolates

1/2 cup mini red, white, and blue marshmallows

1/2 cup white chocolate chips

Instructions

  3. Remove from heat and stir in vanilla extract and salt.
  4. Add Rice Krispies cereal and gently fold until evenly coated.
  5. Let cool for 1–2 minutes, then fold in the remaining 1 cup mini marshmallows, candy-coated chocolates, and colored mini marshmallows.
  6. Transfer mixture to the prepared pan and gently press into an even layer without packing too firmly.
  7. Let cool at room temperature for about 30 minutes until set.
  8. Melt white chocolate chips in the microwave in 20-second intervals, stirring until smooth.
  9. Drizzle melted white chocolate over the treats and let it set before slicing into squares.

Notes

Use fresh marshmallows for the softest texture.

Avoid overheating marshmallows to prevent hard treats.

Press mixture gently into the pan to keep bars chewy.

Customize candy colors for different holidays or events.

Add crushed pretzels or cookies for extra texture.

Store in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days.
