Decorate the tops with pearlized sprinkles and it's like a party in your mouth.
Strawberries and Cream Krispies Treats
When I was a little girl, there was no such thing as buying rice krispies treats, they were always homemade. My brothers and I were beside ourselves with joy when my Mom whipped-up a batch for us to snack on. Waiting for them to cool and set-up was the hard part. I can recall thinking they were heavenly, and I love making them for my kids, too.
Flavored Marshmallows Bring Strawberries and Cream Krispies Treats to Life
This variation using strawberry marshmallows is not only delicious but, pretty, too. Strawberry marshmallows are a newer addition to the marshmallow aisle and pairing them with freeze dried strawberries purchased at my local Target turned these into a tasty twist on a fun classic treat.
- The color of these treats make them perfect for enjoying with your sweetie on Valentine's Day or for Mom on Mother's Day.
- They're also a fabulous choice for girls birthday parties, baby showers and wedding showers.
- Rice Krispie treats are also a terrific addition to your picnic desserts as they hold up in warm weather and don't require refrigeration.
