Patriotic Rice Krispies Treats Pops
For Fourth of July or other patriotic parties, I want something that is “no fuss”. I don’t want to have to worry about slicing a cake, or whether my cupcakes are piped beautifully.
I want something that I don’t have to turn on my oven for, and that guests can just grab and go. This Rice Krispies Treats Pop recipe fits both of those criteria!

These sure looks delicious! Great idea for 4th of July treats!
These Rice Krispie treats are ADORABLE and perfectly festive! I love how customizable they are for any occasion, too. Growing up, on the Fourth of July we would always make a flag cake with strawberries and blueberries on top to make the stars and stripes. A classic!
Thank you Alyssa! Love the flag cake idea too. Mine always came out lopsided/crooked lol.
Its hard to mess up something on a stick though! 🙂

I was wondering when I would see one of these pop up. But I’m glad I found yours. I was going to be boring and press them in a line in a 9 x 13 and then use a star cookie cutter to cut them out. The popsicle stick is ingenious! Less mess, and portion control! Thanks for the tips! I’m very glad I found your post through the Freedom Friday link party.
I love your star idea too Anne! No reason you couldn’t put them on a stick!
