    Red, white and blue Rice Krispy treats

    Make Rice Krispy treats how you normally would, except this time divide the treats into thirds while they are still warm. Add a few drops of blue coloring to one-third and red food coloring to another third and then stir them until the color is mixed in. Now lay down the treats in layers in your pan. When you cut your treats to put on a plate, they will be patriotic red, white and blue.
