Easy Patriotic No Bake Treat

This whole Christmas in July trend needs to stop! The LAST thing I am thinking about in July is Christmas. I loooove the 4th of July and all things summer, I want to enjoy the season while it’s here! I am not about to let Christmas bells ring in place of fireworks. Sheesh! I love Christmas, but in no way will it be creeping into the middle of my summer! It’s staying in the winter where it belongs!

Okay, now that I got that off my chest we can celebrate our independence with these 4th of July Rice Krispies Treats. I think all of us can appreciate an easy to make dessert with a short list of ingredients that doesn’t require the heat of the oven in the middle of summer!

Some of my favorite no bake recipes are these Cherry Cheesecake Bars, Peanut Butter Chocolate Chip Cookie Dough Bars, and Mini S’mores Pies! Oh, and these Chocolate Peanut Butter Pretzel Bites and Golden Graham S’mores Bars.

What You’ll Need:

• 4 tbsp Butter, Melted
• 1 (12 oz) bag Marshmallows
• 6 cups Rice Krispies
• Red, White & Blue M&M’s
