Red White and Blue Rice Krispies
Here at Ruffles and Rain Boots, I love sharing easy, quick dessert ideas and Rice Krispies are always a crowd favorite. The little one loved helping to make these and was pretty proud of her decorating skills, too.
If you’re making these for a Bar-B-Q or picnic, wrap them in parchment once they’ve fully set. To serve as a party favor, get small cellophane bags and tie with a decorative, festive ribbon.

- Pre-made treats keeps them engaged and no one will melt down.
