Recipe:
Ingredients: 
1 bag of marshmallows 
4 1/2 tbsp. butter
6 cups rice krispies 
Red and Blue food dye 
9x9 baking pan or serving pan

Directions: 
-Sort marshmallows into 3 even piles 
-In a pot on the stove on low heat add 1 1/2 tbsp. of butter and let melt. 
-Add one pile of marshmallows and stir into the butter until smooth and without lumps. 
-Add in as much red food dye as you need to reach your desired red color for this layer.
-Mix thoroughly until color is consistent. 
-Add two cups of rice krispies and mix until they are fully coated and dyed by the mixture. 
-Add mixture to the baking pan and flatten until even. 

Repeat the above steps in separate pots for the white and blue layers. For the white layer do not use food dye. Add both layers and flatten onto the red layer in the baking pan. Cool in the refrigerator for 30 mins, cut into squares and then they are ready to serve!
