I love that because I know that the kids are enjoying these treats.

I know that you’ll love my shortcut to these treats. Drum roll…I purchased the rice Krispies treats. I just decorated the pre-made treats and voila’ – done!

Of course, you can make a batch of rice Krispies if you want. I have a recipe for Rice Krispies Treats snowmen. You can use the basic recipe and cut the treats into bars instead of circles.  I just know that Christmas is  busy enough as it is. It’s nice to have one less things to do on the list.

How Long Can you Store Rice Krispies Treats?
