No bake Rainbow Rice Krispies Party Treats

St. Patrick’s Day Treats are some of my favorite treats to make. Like rainbow marshmallow pops, Pot of Gold cupcakes, or Rainbow Jell-O Poke Cake.

These Rainbow Rice Krispies Treats were inspired by the red, white, and blue Krispies treats I’ve seen around Pinterest. I figured, if three colors in Krispies treats looked cute, then six would too.

Rainbow Rice Krispies Treats for kids

My five-year-old and I made these while the older three kids were at school. Boy, were they excited to see these when they got home.

 I was pretty excited, too. I even snagged one for myself. What? I have to taste test.
