Nutcracker Rice Krispie Treats

Blog· Food and Drinks

There is something about the holidays that makes every one feel the need to bake all the time. Are you one of those people? I most definitely am! This year has been a bit wild and I’m sad I haven’t been in the kitchen baking as much as previous years. I usually bake late at night after everybody has gone to sleep but it seems that no one in my house has been sleeping normal hours. Instead of making excuses, I decided to go all in with some fun holiday baking.

Rice Krispie Treats are usually on the top of my list for a few reasons. One main reason is that they’re so easy to make. It’s a treat that is really hard to mess up and everybody loves them. To make things more festive this year, we decided to decorate our rice krispie treats for the holidays by turning them into Nutcrackers! I’m not an artistic person and can’t draw to save my life, but any body can decorate these treats and have them turn out cute.

This is a great recipe to make with your littles and let them explore and experiment in the kitchen. It’s hard to mess up.
