I don’t know about anyone else, but I can’t keep up with school parties. You run the party gauntlet between Thanksgiving and Christmas, and then in the middle of your winter funk… Valentines Day appears and you need 20 treats right now.
Rice Krispies treats to the rescue.
I wish I could hug the mom who invented Rice Krispies treats, because you know it was a mom.
This is basically a double batch, pressed into a sheet pan, cut out, stuck on a stick and drizzled. So easy, so fast, and you look like a Rockstar.
The left-over scraps are for the Rockstar…

Great idea!
Wanted to say that you saved us from going completely insane with cabin fever when we made "Rainy Day Pretzels into Snowy Day Pretzels"! We had a lot of fun. Thanks.
