·      Preparing the Base Treat: Melt the butter in a large pot over low heat. Add the mini marshmallows, stirring until completely melted and the mixture is smooth.

·      Remove the pot from heat and immediately mix in the Rice Krispies cereal until well coated.

·      Press the mixture firmly into a 9×13 inch baking pan lined with parchment paper or lightly greased. Flatten it evenly across the pan.

·      Let the Rice Krispie treat cool and set in the refrigerator for at least one hour.

·      Cutting the Treats: Once set, lift the whole treat out of the pan using the edges of the parchment paper. Place it on a cutting board and cut into squares or rectangles to your preferred size.

·      Melting the Candies: Separately melt the red, white, and blue meltable candies according to the package instructions.

·      Add the melted candies to piping bags. Pipe the chocolate on the rice krispie treats in any order.

·      While the candy coating is still wet, sprinkle with your chosen sprinkles for a decorative touch.

·      Cooling: Allow the treats to set completely at room temperature, or in the refrigerator for a faster setting.
