We do a lot of baking around the holidays and while the boys still get to help with stirring and beating, Mommy likes most of the treats to look really pretty when they are done. This year Kellogg’s sent us a big box of all the yummy ingredients we would need to make Rice Krispie Treats with the boys! This is a perfect family activity because all 5 of us sit at the table and the kids get to be as hands on as they like!
I was super impressed with the embellishments Kellogg’s sent as well, the prettiest edible glitter and sparkly icing! It was definitely a festive and delicious project for us that really put us in the Christmas spirit.
- 3 tablespoons butter or margarine
- 1 package (10 oz., about 40) regular marshmallows
- -OR-
- 4 cups miniature marshmallows
- 6 cups Kellogg's® Rice Krispies® cereal
- In large saucepan melt butter over low heat. Add marshmallows and stir until completely melted. Remove from heat.
- Add KELLOGG'S RICE KRISPIES cereal. Stir until well coated.
- Using buttered spatula or wax paper evenly press mixture into 13 x 9 x 2-inch pan coated with cooking spray.
- Use cookie cutters to create holiday shapes or form with your hands.
- Decorate with icing, candies, etc.
- Optional: To freeze, place in layers separated by wax paper in airtight container. Freeze for up to 6 weeks. Let stand at room temperature for 15 minutes before serving.
If you are looking for a fun holiday activity to do with the whole family this year, making holiday rice krispie treats is bound to be a big hit! The activity serves as a craft and treat all in one and is fun for all ages! Pop on some fun Christmas tunes and make a little party out of it! Merry Christmas!
Wow very creative 🙂
They are super cute and talented, you too mama! Rice Krispie treats are the best to make with kids because they can totally help and SO yummy too. 🙂
Looks like your boys had a lot of fun! I love the looks of your treats!
This is super cute. I could definitely do this with my 2 year old. He would love to decorate them and they are not breakable like regular cookies.
The pic of your kids is adorable!
The treat that never gets old to make 🙂
I posted a video on how to make snowmen out of Rice Krispies http://www.shasherslife.com/2012/12/kelloggs-rice-krispie-snowmen-are-easy.html
It’s amazing all the things you can do with such a simple recipe.
Honest to goodness, I see these every year and I think there is no way in HELL they are going to turn out like the pictures. Damned if I was wrong.
Love the pic of your boys, super duper cute, all the smiles for their baking. I love rice crispies they are such great and healthy even snacks for kids for school or weekends when the weather is wet! Thanks for sharing!
