Candy American Flag
> This American flag is made entirely of candy, and is perfect for a 4th of
> July party or picnic. This recipe makes one large 12x17" flag, but if you
> prefer
> smaller flags, you can make it through step 7 and then cut the base into
> whatever size rectangles you desire, and decorate them accordingly.
>
> Ingredients:
>
> . 4 tbsp butter
> . 4 cups miniature marshmallows
> . 6 cups crispy rice cereal
> . 2 cups (12 ounces) white chocolate chips
> . 1 can (16 ounces) vanilla frosting
> . 3 blue fruit roll-ups
> . 4 red fruit roll-ups
>
> Preparation:
>
> 1. Prepare a 12x17" jelly roll pan by lining it with waxed paper and
> spraying the paper with nonstick cooking spray.
>
> 2. Place the butter in a large microwave-safe bowl, and microwave until
> melted, about 45 seconds.
>
> 3. Add the miniature marshmallows to the bowl, and microwave until the
> marshmallows are completely melted, about 1 minute, stirring every 30
> seconds. Stir
> the mixture until it is completely smooth.
>
> 4. Add the rice cereal and stir until the cereal is completely coated.
> Immediately pour the mixture out onto the prepared baking sheet. Spray
> your
> hand
> with nonstick cooking spray, and press the candy into the sheet in a thin
> layer. Make sure the candy fills the whole baking sheet in an even layer.
>
> 5. Place the white chocolate chips in a large microwave-safe bowl.
> Microwave
> until melted, about 1.5 minutes, stirring halfway through the cooking
> time.
>
>
> 6. Once the chocolate is melted, add the vanilla frosting and stir until
> the
> mixture is smooth and well-combined. Immediately pour this fudge over the
> cereal
> candy and use an offset spatula or knife to spread it smooth. Make sure
> the
> fudge covers the entire area, including the corners, and that it is an
> even
> thickness throughout.
>
> 7. Place the sheet in the refrigerator to set the fudge layer for about 1
> hour.
>
> 8. Once the fudge is set, you can add the stars and stripes decorations.
> Unroll the blue fruit roll-ups, and use a small cookie or fondant cutter
> to
> cut
> out stars. I used almost 3 full roll-up sheets to make my blue patch, but
> yours might vary depending on the candy you buy. If you don't have a
> star-shaped
> cutter, you can make stars with frosting, or use mini-marshmallows or
> white
> chocolate chips to stand in for white stars. Whatever you decide to do,
> place
> the blue fruit roll-ups in the upper left corner of the "flag."
>
> 9. Cut the red fruit roll-ups into thin strips, and lay them in horizontal
> rows, leaving equal amounts of white space in between.
>
> 10. This candy flag can be made several days in advance. To store, cover
> the
> flag with a layer of cling wrap in the refrigerator. To serve, cut into
> small
> squares with a sharp knife. Enjoy.
