Ingredients
  

Ingredients
  • 4 T butter
  • 5 ½ cups mini marshmallows or 40 large
  • 5 cups Rice Krispies cereal (patriotic colors)
  • 10 extra mini marshmallows (optional) I always throw in 10 or so extra minis straight onto the greased baking sheet before adding the mixture.
  • ½ cup white chocolate chips
  • 1/8 tsp oil (olive, canola, avocado)

Equipment

  • Saucepan
  • star-shaped cookie cutter
  • Baking sheet

Method
 

Instructions
  1. Melt butter over medium heat. Add marshmallows and stir until melted. Add cereal and remove from heat stirring until completely coated. Pour onto greased baking sheet with the extra mini marshmallows if desired. Gently press out and let firm up for a few minutes. Using the star cookie cutter of choice press out the cereal. You may need to reshape when removing cutter. Let these cool. Heat up chocolate chips with oil in 10 second increments and stirring between. Put into a baggie and press to a corner. Snip a tiny piece off that corner and use it to drizzle on the chocolate. If using the sticks to make pops insert these just after removing the cookie cutter. A little extra mixture may need to be added to secure the back.
