Ingredients

For Rice Kripsie Treats

  • 6 cup Rice Krispies Cereal
  • 3 tbsp Butter
  • 10.5 oz Marshmallows

Ingredients and Supplies for Popsicle Rice Cereal Treats

  • 2 paper straws
  • ¼ cup butter softened
  • 1 cup confectioners’ sugar
  • 1 tbsp cocoa powder
  • Brown gel food coloring
  • 1-2 tbsp milk
  • 1-2 tbsp sprinkles

Instructions

Directions to Make Rice Krispie Treats

  • Grease a 13x9x2″ pan.
  • In a medium to large saucepan, melt the butter over low heat.
  • Add the marshmallows and stir until completely melted.
  • Remove from heat.
  • Add the Rice Krispies cereal and stir until cereal is well coated.
  • Allow to set about 4 minutes.
  • Butter a your hands and press mixture into prepared pan.
  • Allow to set before cutting into squares for the popsicles. 

Directions to Make Popsicle Rice Cereal Treats

  • After the Rice Kripies have set, cut them into 2X3 rectangle shapes. 
  • Cut your straws into thirds. Insert one straw at the bottom of each rice cereal treat.
  • Lay a piece of parchment paper on a cookie sheet and set the popsicle treats on to decorate. 
  •  Using an electric mixer, beat together butter, confectioners’ sugar, cocoa powder and milk.
  •  Once your buttercream starts to form (ie.: is smooth and forms semi-stiff peaks), add some brown gel food coloring to make the color richer. Mix until completely combined.
  •  Scoop your buttercream into a piping bag with Wilton frosting tip #8 attached.
  •  Frost the top of each rice cereal treat, covering it almost in its entirety: pipe out the bottom so that it looks like it’s “dripping.” You can even add some “drops” if you’d like!
  •  Use an offset spatula to smooth out the chocolate buttercream.
  •  Sprinkle each cereal treat, pressing down gently to ensure the sprinkles don’t fall off.
  •  Serve and enjoy!
