Christina's Notes
- Add Candies: Add white chocolate chips inside or any other of your favorite nuts to fluff rice krispie treats up.
- Short Cut: Use a gel icing to decorate the top instead of melted chocolate, you can use all sorts of spooky colors. Make this treat for fall and use yellow food coloring and red food coloring.
- Sprinkles: Fun fall sprinkles make these treats even more festive.
- Little Pumpkins: Make fun Halloween pumpkin shaped rice krispie treats by rolling mixture into balls and placing a tootsie roll on top of each pumpkin for the stems.
- Alternate Cooking Method: Feel free to make cereal treats in the crock pot or instant pot.
- Healthier: Use healthier brown rice cereal or protein cereal or vegan marshmallows to make traditional rice krispies treats right for your dietary needs and perfect for Halloween.
