Snowmen rice crispy treats


Photo from Love Create Celebrate
I was sure I had already written this post, but it seems to have disappeared, so I'll try again!  This is a sweet treat that would be fun for any winter occasion, not just Christmas.  The idea is from Lindi at Love Create Celebrate and you can find the link to the recipe and instructions here:  Rice Krispie Snowman Treats.

Basically, you make rice krispie treats pretty much as usual, then cut them into circle shapes.  Then you coat them in melted white chocolate and decorate with candies and chocolate chips.  Lindi made some of her snowmen with earmuffs, and some without.  They are cute either way!

A plateful of snowmen faces at any winter or Christmas gathering would be adorable.  And I think these would also be nice gifts for teachers, classmates, co-workers or friends, especially if the treats were packaged in those individual cookie packages.  They might make a cute stocking stuffer, too, if the stockings were hung somewhere away from a heat source so the white chocolate wouldn't melt.

Have fun with this idea!

  1. I always pin ideas like this but I never get to do them! However, I show mom and she always manages to do a few of things like this.

    1. I have a whole notebook full of ideas similar to this, Lucie. Every now and then I try one of the ideas! I don't get around to trying something new every year, but most years, I do.

  5. I have some Christmas tree molds - I should try molding Rice Krispie treats in them.

    1. Great idea, Pamela! You could dip them in white chocolate for "White Christmas" trees, or in green. Then trim the trees with little candies (I think Sixlets would make great ornaments). Thanks for sharing this idea!
