Here's another Patriotic dessert that's easy and fun. My husband loves rice krispies treats so I was making a batch of them when I realized that I had more marshmallows than rice krispies. This made for a softer and gooier rice krispies treat. I cut them into squares and decided to go a little crazy with them by adding a creamy and berry topping. What a fun dessert... although it was a bit messy to eat with your hands. The kids loved the krispies base, the sweet cream and the tart berries all together. Of course the biggest kid of all, my hubby, loved it the most and had it for dessert (twice).
Note: it's best to only top the portions of rice krispies you are going to immediately eat since keeping this dessert in the fridge won't be as good the next day.
