Back to School Rice Krispies Treats

Believe it or not, the kids are really excited to go back to school in a few weeks.  They don’t see all their friends over the summer so they are looking forward to getting back in touch with everyone.   Both of my girls are very social but also good students and they enjoy school… at least now!  I’m sure as they head into middle school, that’ll be a different story.

In honor of the kids going back to school, here is a fun recipe that the kids can help you make.  Back to School Rice Krispies Treats.  They are super colorful and fun to celebrate the back to school season!  These are perfect to whip up for an after school treat.

ABC Krispies 5-3

We love making these and we like to add different toppings for special occasions.  And of course eating them plain is fun too, but the kids love decorating them.  With this recipe, you’ll drizzle melted chocolate over the top and then add fun decorations.
