Delightfully Simple and Quick to Make

The Christmas season is most definitely one of my favorite times of year, but it can easily become one of my most stressful times. I tend to bite off more than I can chew, I’m sure the majority of you can relate. These little guys are unbelievably simple and the perfect treat for any holiday get-together, gifting, or movie night. Minimal ingredients, no baking necessary, kid and adult friendly… um, yes please!

INGREDIENTS

• Kellogg’s Rice Krispie Treats
• candy eyeballs
• red M&M’s
• melting chocolate
• lollipop sticks
• piping bag (a Ziplock works just as well)

*Optional: ribbon for decoration

INSTRUCTIONS

STEP 1 RICE KRISPIE TREATS First unwrap your Kellogg’s Rice Krispie Treats, and insert a lollipop stick into each one.

STEP 2 EYEBALLS AND NOSE Press on the eyeballs and red M&M’s at the base of your treat pops as pictured. You can do this by either pressing down using the stickiness of the treats to adhere the eyes and nose or by using the melting chocolate as glue. I’ve had great success with just pressing them down.

STEP 3 ANTLERS Melt your chocolate according to package directions and put into the piping bag. Cut a small hole at the tip. Pipe on the antlers and allow to dry.

*Remember the bigger the hole, the wider your lines will be.

STEP 4 RIBBON Add some festive ribbon if you’d like. Enjoy!

FAQ

CAN I USE HOMEMADE RICE KRISPIE TREATS? Yes absolutely! In this recipe I chose store bought for time saving, but homemade would be delicious as well! Just cut them into rectangles prior to getting started.
