Some Chocolaty Rice Krispies® Treats for Christmas!

RICE KRISPIES® Treats are always so fun to customize for each holiday season.  They’re perfect for holiday get-togethers since they’re a classic treat loved by all.  And they’re so easy to customize; you can mix in sprinkles, add toppings, mold them into shapes, cut them with cookies cutters.  Search for Rice Krispies® Treats on Pinterest and the inspiration is endless!  For our special Christmas Rice Krispies® Treats this year, I decided to make some cute Reindeer.  Check ’em out…

Triple Chocolate Reindeer Rice Krispies® Treats

Ingredients: 

• 6 cups Chocolate Rice Krispies® Cereal
• 3 Tbsp. butter
• 8 oz package of Chocolate Kraft Jet-Puffed Marshmallows (or any kind you’d like)
• 1 container store-bought chocolate frosting
• mini pretzels
• candy eyeballs (not in photo)
• red candy coated chocolate candies
• 8 X 11″ rectangular baking dish
• parchment paper (optional, but super helpful!)

Steps:

Melt the butter in a large saucepan over low heat.  (Remember, low heat and patience is the key to awesome Rice Krispies® Treats!)  Once the butter is melted, add the marshmallows and stir often until evenly melted.

Next, add the Chocolate Rice Krispies® Cereal, and mix it in until all cereal is evenly coated with melted marshmallow.

Remove the Rice Krispies® Treat mixture from the heat and use a spoon or spatula to add it to your parchment paper lined rectangular baking dish.

Use another large piece of parchment paper to press the Rice Krispies® Treat mixture evenly into the baking dish.

Wait about 15 minutes for Rice Krispies® Treats to cool and set before using the bottom parchment paper edges to remove from baking dish.  Slice into approximately 2 x 4″ Rice Krispies® Treats.  You should get 12 Rice Krispies® Treats.

Ice tops of Rice Krispies® Treats with chocolate frosting.  Add two broken pretzels for reindeer antlers, two candy eyeballs, and a red candy for the reindeer nose.

Serve with milk as a special Christmas treat or even in place of Santa’s cookies!
