A true symbol of childhood, rice krispie treats are so versatile for many different occasions. With some colored candy melts and sprinkles, they’re a festive treat for all ages. In fact, with just some blue candy melts and patriotic sprinkles you have the main idea for these Patriotic Cereal Treat Pops.

Patriotic Cereal Treat Pops for Memorial Day, July 4th

Because there’s not many ways you can make krispie treats better, except by dipping in candy melts and adding sprinkles. Then putting on a stick for a fun, pop treat that’s perfect for any upcoming Memorial Day or July 4th celebrations and picnics.

What’s even better is that these treats can all be made in the microwave. Start by melting marshmallows and butter in 30 second intervals. Add cereal and vanilla extract and fold into a buttered-coated pan. Then, again using the microwave, begin melting the candy melts. Dip a rectangle of krispie treat into the candy melt. Add sprinkles and sit aside until set.
