Thirteen ways to dress up your Rice Krispy Treats
Today 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.

[...] Do you like Rice Krispy Treats? They are one of my favorite desserts- I think I could eat a whole pan of them.

Oh man, now I have such a craving for RKT’s. I’ll have to check out the cupboards and see if I can make some tonight without requiring a trip to the store.
