Why we love Patriotic Rice Krispie Treats

I’m SO crazy excited that summer is FINALLY here…Yee-haw!! Can y’all believe it? Did you know that our Patriotic Rice Krispie Treats are made in the microwave? They’re so simple to make that way and since there’s no stove necessary the kids can help too.

I found my cute star sprinkles at the local grocery store bakery…they will sell them by weight if you ask and they usually have super cute ones too.
