Stars & Stripes Rice Krispies

The other day I was browsing blog land while Mr. C & little miss were climbing all over me.  I saw these adorable red, white and blue rice krispies and Mr. C immediately asked me to make them for him.  How could I refuse!  I gathered all the supplies and this morning set out to make them for him (with a twist!).  I’ve had these red and white paper straws sitting in my cupboard and haven’t had a reason to use them yet!  I thought this would be a perfect project for them!

Here is the recipe I used:

Then I took my star cookie cutter, buttered the sides so it wouldn’t stick, and cut my shapes.  I laid my stars on some parchment paper and stuck my red and white striped paper straws in the centers.

My one little tip would be to pat them down as tightly as possible when you put them in your pan.

My little helpers surely enjoyed these tasty treats.  My kids love suckers so a treat on a stick is just about right for them!

See how I spent my morning.  Making treats and NOT dressing my kids!  PJs and bed head is the only way to eat treats!
