Thirteen ways to dress up your Rice Krispy Treats

treatToday is Thursday that means it’s time for Thursday Thirteen. This is the first T.T. I’ve done on this site- I hope you like it. Rice Krispy Treats are wonderful just made with the old fashioned recipe, but I can never resist dressing them up a bit. Here are some of my favorite ways:

1. Mix in M&M’s

2. Make them with Half Fruity Pebbles half Rice Krispies

3. Mix Chocolate Chips in with the cereal before pouring into the marshmallow mixture

4. Make them with Cocoa Krispies

5. Put food coloring in the marshmallow mixture after you remove it from the heat, before you put in the cereal

6. Make a Peeps nest

7. Cut into shapes with cookie cutters

8. Add in raisins and dried cranberries

9. Make this chocolate/peanut butter 2 layer treat

10. Stir in 1/4 cup of peanut butter with the marshmallows

11. Mix in broken up toffee

12. Mix in broken up candy canes or peppermint candies

13. And, finally, The Ultimate Rice Krispy Candy “Cake” recipe- you’ve got to try this one.

If you want to make the regular recipe, you can visit the little monkey at himonkey.net for some step by step instructions- very cute.
