Red, White, and Blue Rice Krispies Treats

Bakery Style Red, White and Blue Rice Krispie Treats 

Ingredients:

10 tbsp of butter 

20 cups of mini marshmallows, divided 

1 tsp of salt 

1 tsp vanilla extract 

12 cups Rice krispie cereal 

3  1/2 oz of dried blueberries 

 1 oz of freeze-dried strawberries 

Line 1/2 sheet pan with parchment paper and set aside. In a large bowl measure out 12 cups of Rice crispy cereal. In a small bowl, place 4 cups of mini marshmallows and set aside.

In a large stock pot, put butter and remaing 16 cups of mini marshmallows, cook over medium low heat until melted. Once marshmallows and butter are melted together, add in salt, vanilla extract, blueberries, and strawberries. Pour marshmallow mixture over the cereal and start to combine. Then add in mini marshmallows. If you add them in too soon they start to melt. 

Next pour the mixture into the parchment paper lined sheet pan. I like to spray my spatula with a little oil so it doesn't stick to the mixture as I try to Pat it into the pan. Let the mixture cool for 30 minutes and then slice into bars.
