to make. But seriously, they're really simple. You melt the butter and marshmallows like always, stir in the cereal, and fold in some extra yummy treats! That's it!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>And, if you want to get fancy for the 4th, you can drizzle on some candy melts and add a few more decorations. Easy as apple pie? Even easier if you ask me. Plus, this recipe gives you perfectly chewy, never-too-hard Rice Krispie Treats.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img decoding=\"async\" width=\"1200\" height=\"1800\" src=\"https:\/\/foodnservice.com\/staging\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/06\/4th-of-July-Rice-Krispie-Treats-14-683x1024.jpg\" alt=\"squared edge area with 4th of july rice krispie treats with patriotic decorations\" class=\"wp-image-30931\" srcset=\"https:\/\/foodnservice.com\/staging\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/06\/4th-of-July-Rice-Krispie-Treats-14-683x1024.jpg 683w, https:\/\/foodnservice.com\/staging\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/06\/4th-of-July-Rice-Krispie-Treats-14-200x300.jpg 200w, https:\/\/foodnservice.com\/staging\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/06\/4th-of-July-Rice-Krispie-Treats-14-768x1152.jpg 768w, https:\/\/foodnservice.com\/staging\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/06\/4th-of-July-Rice-Krispie-Treats-14-1024x1536.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/foodnservice.com\/staging\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/06\/4th-of-July-Rice-Krispie-Treats-14-150x225.jpg 150w, https:\/\/foodnservice.com\/staging\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/06\/4th-of-July-Rice-Krispie-Treats-14.jpg 1200w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1200px) 100vw, 1200px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Why do love these 4th of July Rice Krispie Treats?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>We love Rice Krispie Treats because they're delicious, of course! It's hard to find a person who doesn't like them. Their chewy texture and light, sweet flavor make them hard to resist. But people also enjoy rice crispy treats because they're primarily a simple carbohydrate, so they can give you a noticeable boost of energy before a big game, workout, or recreational activity. They're also convenient to take with you in your gym bag or purse and are easy to consume.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>These 4th of July Rice Krispie Treats are easy to make, and are the perfect finger food to bring to any BBQ you might be attending!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img decoding=\"async\" width=\"1200\" height=\"1800\" src=\"https:\/\/foodnservice.com\/staging\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/06\/4th-of-July-Rice-Krispie-Treats-21-683x1024.jpg\" alt=\"overhead shot of stacked 4th of July rice krispie treats on a tan plate\" class=\"wp-image-30932\" srcset=\"https:\/\/foodnservice.com\/staging\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/06\/4th-of-July-Rice-Krispie-Treats-21-683x1024.jpg 683w, https:\/\/foodnservice.com\/staging\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/06\/4th-of-July-Rice-Krispie-Treats-21-200x300.jpg 200w, https:\/\/foodnservice.com\/staging\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/06\/4th-of-July-Rice-Krispie-Treats-21-768x1152.jpg 768w, https:\/\/foodnservice.com\/staging\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/06\/4th-of-July-Rice-Krispie-Treats-21-1024x1536.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/foodnservice.com\/staging\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/06\/4th-of-July-Rice-Krispie-Treats-21-150x225.jpg 150w, https:\/\/foodnservice.com\/staging\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/06\/4th-of-July-Rice-Krispie-Treats-21.jpg 1200w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1200px) 100vw, 1200px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Are Rice Krispies Treats a No-Bake Dessert?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Yes, Rice Krispie Treats are a no-bake dessert, but you do still need to do a tiny bit of cooking on the stovetop. The good thing is, Rice Krispie Squares only require three main ingredients and a couple minutes of your time. If you want to get fancy, you can add decorations, but the basic recipe requires you to simply melt butter and marshmallows in a pan and stir in the Rice Krispies cereal. You can add in some vanilla and salt if you wish.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Recommended<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/foodnservice.com\/staging\/easy-homemade-marshmallows\/\">Easy Homemade Marshmallows<\/a><br><a href=\"https:\/\/foodnservice.com\/staging\/instant-pot-chocolate-cheesecake\/\">Instant Pot Chocolate Cheesecake<\/a><br><a href=\"https:\/\/foodnservice.com\/staging\/instant-pot-bananas-foster-cheesecake\/\">Instant Pot Bananas Foster Cheesecake<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img decoding=\"async\" width=\"1200\" height=\"1800\" src=\"https:\/\/foodnservice.com\/staging\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/06\/4th-of-July-Rice-Krispie-Treats-25-683x1024.jpg\" alt=\"red, white, and blue M&Ms on 4th of july rice krispie treats stacked on each other with a glass of milk\" class=\"wp-image-30933\" srcset=\"https:\/\/foodnservice.com\/staging\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/06\/4th-of-July-Rice-Krispie-Treats-25-683x1024.jpg 683w, https:\/\/foodnservice.com\/staging\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/06\/4th-of-July-Rice-Krispie-Treats-25-200x300.jpg 200w, https:\/\/foodnservice.com\/staging\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/06\/4th-of-July-Rice-Krispie-Treats-25-768x1152.jpg 768w, https:\/\/foodnservice.com\/staging\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/06\/4th-of-July-Rice-Krispie-Treats-25-1024x1536.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/foodnservice.com\/staging\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/06\/4th-of-July-Rice-Krispie-Treats-25-150x225.jpg 150w, https:\/\/foodnservice.com\/staging\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/06\/4th-of-July-Rice-Krispie-Treats-25.jpg 1200w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1200px) 100vw, 1200px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Tips and Recipe Notes<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Rice Krispie Treats aren't complicated to make, but you can end up with squares that are either dry or too sticky if you're not careful. Here are some tips to help make sure these are perfect every time:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Measure carefully. The recipe is simple, but the outcome can be delicate. Even just a little bit too much cereal, and your squares will be dry. Too much butter, and they're gooey and never properly set. So check your measurements twice to be sure they're correct.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Use fresh marshmallows for the best results. Stale marshmallows don't usually melt as smoothly.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Lightly coat your mixing spoon or spatula with cooking spray before stirring the marshmallow mixture and pressing it into the pan. This really helps stop the mixture from sticking to the spoon.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Grease your baking pan or dish with butter or cooking spray before pressing the mixture to stop the cereal from sticking.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Don't press your treats too tightly into the pan. They'll end up tough to eat. Just press them lightly until they've made an even layer in the pan.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Refrigerate your treats to allow them to firm up more quickly.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img decoding=\"async\" width=\"1200\" height=\"1800\" src=\"https:\/\/foodnservice.com\/staging\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/06\/4th-of-July-Rice-Krispie-Treats-29-683x1024.jpg\" alt=\"melted red, white, and blue chocolates on rice krispie treats\" class=\"wp-image-30934\" srcset=\"https:\/\/foodnservice.com\/staging\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/06\/4th-of-July-Rice-Krispie-Treats-29-683x1024.jpg 683w, https:\/\/foodnservice.com\/staging\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/06\/4th-of-July-Rice-Krispie-Treats-29-200x300.jpg 200w, https:\/\/foodnservice.com\/staging\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/06\/4th-of-July-Rice-Krispie-Treats-29-768x1152.jpg 768w, https:\/\/foodnservice.com\/staging\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/06\/4th-of-July-Rice-Krispie-Treats-29-1024x1536.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/foodnservice.com\/staging\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/06\/4th-of-July-Rice-Krispie-Treats-29-150x225.jpg 150w, https:\/\/foodnservice.com\/staging\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/06\/4th-of-July-Rice-Krispie-Treats-29.jpg 1200w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1200px) 100vw, 1200px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Rice Krispies Treat for Every Occasion<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Now that you have this easy recipe on hand, you can reinvent it for just about any holiday.

They can stay fresh in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. They'll get a bit harder each day, so try to eat them up while they're still pretty fresh!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>In the freezer &#8211; <\/strong>If you have more treats than you can eat, you can freeze them for later. Wrap each treat individually in plastic wrap and place them in a freezer bag. They can be stored in the freezer for up to 2 months. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Can I Make This Ahead? <\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Absolutely! These treats can be made up to a day in advance. Just be sure to store them properly in an airtight container in the refrigerator to keep them fresh. Please note that the colors from the candy melts and sprinkles might bleed a little overtime, so you might want to add the candy melt topping and decorations just before serving.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>You can also freeze these for longer store if you need to make them more than a day in advance. See the instructions above.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">FAQs<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"schema-faq wp-block-yoast-faq-block\"><div class=\"schema-faq-section\" id=\"faq-question-1688237667666\"><strong class=\"schema-faq-question\">Can I use other types of cereal instead of Rice Krispies?<\/strong> <p class=\"schema-faq-answer\">Yes!

Just make sure you have the same quantity as the store-bought ones.<\/p> <\/div> <div class=\"schema-faq-section\" id=\"faq-question-1688237759146\"><strong class=\"schema-faq-question\">Can I make these treats without using a stovetop?<\/strong> <p class=\"schema-faq-answer\">Yes, you can melt the marshmallows in the microwave. Heat them in 30-second intervals, stirring in between until smooth.<\/p> <\/div> <div class=\"schema-faq-section\" id=\"faq-question-1688237774962\"><strong class=\"schema-faq-question\">Can I add other mix-ins, like crushed cookies or candies?<\/strong> <p class=\"schema-faq-answer\">Certainly! Crushed Oreos, M&M's, or chopped candies can be added to the mixture for extra flavor and texture, but if you want to keep them festive, look for other red, white, and blue treats to incorporate.<\/p> <\/div> <\/div>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">More easy recipes you'll love this summer!<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/foodnservice.com\/staging\/pineapple-salsa\/\">Pineapple Salsa<\/a><br><a href=\"https:\/\/foodnservice.com\/staging\/air-fryer-brussels-sprouts\/\">Air Fryer Brussels Sprouts<\/a><br><a href=\"https:\/\/foodnservice.com\/staging\/summer-couscous-salad\/\">Summer Couscous Salad<\/a><br><a href=\"https:\/\/foodnservice.com\/staging\/kiwi-prosecco-popsicles\/\">Kiwi Prosecco Popsicles<\/a><br><a href=\"https:\/\/foodnservice.com\/staging\/potato-stacks-recipe\/\">Potato Stacks<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n<div id=\"recipe\"><\/div><div id=\"wprm-recipe-container-30936\" class=\"wprm-recipe-container\" data-recipe-id=\"30936\" data-servings=\"12\"><div class=\"wprm-recipe wprm-recipe-template-emery\"><div\n  class=\"wprm-layout-container wprm-padding-40 emery-header\"\n  style=\"\n    --wprm-layout-container-background-color: var(--emery-list-border-color);\n  \"\n>\n  <div\n    class=\"wprm-layout-column-container wprm-column-gap-20 wprm-column-rows-recipe-600 wprm-column-rows-reverse wprm-row-gap-20 emery-header-columns\"\n  >\n    <div class=\"wprm-layout-column wprm-align-center\">\n      <div class=\"wprm-recipe-image wprm-block-image-rounded\"><img decoding=\"async\" style=\"border-width: 0px;border-style: solid;border-color: #666666;border-radius: 20px;width: 300px;max-width: 100%;height: 300px;object-fit: cover;\" width=\"300\" height=\"300\" src=\"https:\/\/foodnservice.com\/staging\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/07\/4th-of-july-Rice-Krispie-Treats-featured-image.png\" class=\"attachment-999999x300 size-999999x300\" alt=\"\" srcset=\"https:\/\/foodnservice.com\/staging\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/07\/4th-of-july-Rice-Krispie-Treats-featured-image.png 1200w, https:\/\/foodnservice.com\/staging\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/07\/4th-of-july-Rice-Krispie-Treats-featured-image-300x300.png 300w, https:\/\/foodnservice.com\/staging\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/07\/4th-of-july-Rice-Krispie-Treats-featured-image-1024x1024.png 1024w, https:\/\/foodnservice.com\/staging\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/07\/4th-of-july-Rice-Krispie-Treats-featured-image-180x180.png 180w, https:\/\/foodnservice.com\/staging\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/07\/4th-of-july-Rice-Krispie-Treats-featured-image-768x768.png 768w, https:\/\/foodnservice.com\/staging\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/07\/4th-of-july-Rice-Krispie-Treats-featured-image-500x500.png 500w, https:\/\/foodnservice.com\/staging\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/07\/4th-of-july-Rice-Krispie-Treats-featured-image-96x96.png 96w, https:\/\/foodnservice.com\/staging\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/07\/4th-of-july-Rice-Krispie-Treats-featured-image-150x150.png 150w, https:\/\/foodnservice.com\/staging\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/07\/4th-of-july-Rice-Krispie-Treats-featured-image-200x200.png 200w, https:\/\/foodnservice.com\/staging\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/07\/4th-of-july-Rice-Krispie-Treats-featured-image-320x320.png 320w, https:\/\/foodnservice.com\/staging\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/07\/4th-of-july-Rice-Krispie-Treats-featured-image-480x480.png 480w, https:\/\/foodnservice.com\/staging\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/07\/4th-of-july-Rice-Krispie-Treats-featured-image-720x720.png 720w, https:\/\/foodnservice.com\/staging\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/07\/4th-of-july-Rice-Krispie-Treats-featured-image-735x735.png 735w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 300px) 100vw, 300px\" \/><\/div>\n    <\/div>\n    <div class=\"wprm-layout-column wprm-column-width-75 wprm-align-rows-center\">\n      <div\n        class=\"wprm-layout-container emery-header-accent\"\n        style=\"--wprm-layout-container-text-color: var(--emery-accent-color)\"\n      >\n        <span class=\"wprm-recipe-details wprm-recipe-author wprm-block-text-semi-bold\">David Murphy<\/span>\n      <\/div>\n      <h2 class=\"wprm-recipe-name wprm-block-text-normal\">4th of July Rice Krispie Treats<\/h2> <div class=\"wprm-spacer\" style=\"height: 15px;\"><\/div>\n       <div class=\"wprm-spacer\" style=\"height: 15px;\"><\/div> <div class=\"wprm-recipe-summary wprm-block-text-normal\"><span style=\"display: block;\">You&#x27;ll love these adorable 4th of July rice krispie treats!
