These Reindeer Rice Krispie Treats are a fun Christmas treat to make with the kids and so easy to make with just a few ingredients!
This is such a fun time of year for the kids between decorating fun treats to presents. We’ve always dedicated a day or two when our kids were little listening to Christmas music while we bake cookies and delicious treats. Then, we would set up a decorating station for each kid so they could decorate each treat. It’s always such a good time!
For this recipe we used already made rice krispie treats to save on time but you can make homemade rice krispie treats. We also used a Wilton reindeer icing kit to decorate the treats with but if you don’t have any on hand you can substitute with pretzels for antlers, candy eyes, and a brown M&M or jellybean for the nose.
