Straws
Put the straws into the mixture, estimating how many desserts you want to make, and use that many straws.
Let it cool in the fridge and set!
Cut into Shapes
Once the mixture has set, use a knife to cut it into squares.
Arrange them on parchment paper.
And let the decorating begin.
Melt the Chocolate
Next, let’s melt the chocolate.
You’ll need 200g of white chocolate for each of the paints.
Melt them the same way as before, in a water bath.
Then add the colors to the chocolate and mix well. (it must be specially made for chocolate)
Paint and Decorate
Now comes the fun part! Dip each rice krispie shape into the melted colored chocolates.
You can use red, blue, or white colors to stick to the patriotic theme.
Let the excess drip off and place them back on the parchment paper to set.
Add Decorations
Before the chocolates set completely, sprinkle on your optional decorations.
Think red, white, and blue sprinkles, glitter, or even small stars.
Get creative and have fun with it!
Drizzle with Chocolate
Melt the remaining 50g of chocolate and drizzle it over the rice krispie treats for an extra touch of yumminess.
It looks fancy and tastes amazing!
