I have a serious love affair with Krispie Treats. Don’t worry, my husband is quite aware of this lover of mine! It all started in high school when my BFF and I would make a pan of plain krispie treats, cut it in half, and each eat a giant square! (Hi Steph, I miss you!!!!)

But now that I’m all grown up and such (kinda), I like to make fancy treats and have perfected how to make rice krispie treats. Ha! Fancy Rice Krispie treats? Oxymoron!

Anyways, these cuties are perfect for a holiday get together…you can use popsicle sticks or lollipop sticks if you don’t have any fun paper straws! (maybe you will win some in the giveaway?!?!)

What is one of your favorite treats to make for the holidays?

As you are aware I love Rice Krispies….and pudding gives a fun twist to any treat!

Try some Gingerbread Treats or Banana Krispies

Cupcakes are an easy dessert that can feed a large group too!

My favorites (right now!) are: Dark Chocolate Cupcakes with Salted Caramel Swiss Meringue Frosting and Lemon Cupcakes with Lemon Buttercream

Brownies make an appearance every year at our holidays. Especially bite sized brownies!

Hot Chocolate Santa Hat Brownies and Chocolate Brownies with White Chocolate Peppermint Buttercream

  1. Ok, seriously. How did I  not know about Candy Cane pudding?! Where has it been all life?

    I think I just found my new favorite food blog! <3

  2. I couldn’t find the Candy Cane pudding or Peppermint marshmallows. So I used Cheesecake pudding and crushed candy canes. It could of used a little peppermint extract for more of a peppermint flavor, but they were very good. And for future this is a great ‘base’ recipe to work with so many other flavor options. Thanks Aimee!!

      1. After four days of searching for peppermint Jell-O pudding, I finally gave up and made a couple of substitutions. I used a 4.2 oz. box of Oreo Cookies and Cream pudding with a heaping tablespoon of finely crushed candy canes and then dipped them in Wilton’s Candy Crunch white chocolate. Can you say delish?!? Thanks for the inspiration Aimee. =)
