Rice Crispy FLIP FLOPS

A quick and easy summer treat your kids will love!

If there is one thing us Midwesterners love, it’s sandal season! Flip flop season might be short around here, but all the more reason to celebrate it! These special summer edition Rice Krispy treats are sure to bring a taste of summer to your table.

WHAT TO DO: Melt 3 Tbsp of butter and 4 cups of mini marshmallows. Pour your melted mixture over 6 cups of Rice Krispy cereal in a large bowl and mix together, lay flat on a sheet pan.

Allow mixture to cool a bit and set up. To make the flip flop shape you can cut an oval shape out by hand, or use an oval shape cookie cutter. (Tip! If you use a cookie cutter be sure to spray with a non-stick spray first!)

Gently squeeze the middle of your oval to create a shoe shape.

Using a Fruit Roll Up or Fruit Leather, cut strips to create the straps of your flip flop. Lastly, add a M&M or Skittle candy to the middle.
