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.
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.
