These rice krispies treat star wands will make for the perfect patriotic treats on the 4th of July! I might have sampled a couple (you know for blog purposes) and aside from being cute, they are also yummy! They will be a big hit with the kids and who doesn’t love food on a stick?! You might also want to make some red, white and blue fruit cones for firework viewing festivities and stay tuned for a patriotic drink recipe I’ll be posting this week.
Ingredients:
Rice Krispies Cereal
Butter
Marshmallow
Skewers or Lollipop Sticks
Red & Blue Ribbon
Star Cookie Cutter
Cooking Spray
Casserole Dish
Wax Paper
Instructions:
Make rice cereal treats according to the cereal box. Press into a deep casserole dish, sprayed with cooking spray, 1 inch thick. Spray star cookie cutter with cooking spray and cut out as many stars as possible. Place stars on a piece of wax paper and insert a skewer in them. You may want to use long lollipop sticks instead of skewers for children. Tie several strands of red and blue colored ribbon around the stick. Enjoy your patriotic treat!

I LOVE this idea!! I have been trying to think of fun things for the kids since my husband has to work during the day – this is going on the list!
I think this is such a fun idea for the 4th.
These are so cute! I bet Christopher would love making these.
