A Fun Holiday Treat

Calling all cool moms! Are you ready for a fun winter activity that your kids are going to LOVE?

Snowman Rice Krispie Treats are a great way to entertain the kids at class parties, playgroups, or just for a fun afternoon snack! You can make these snowmen rice krispie treats ahead of time, and then let the kids decorate them when ever you’re ready!

I have also made these adorable treats one year for a Christmas party we were hosting.  They were the talk of the party and everyone was asking for a copy of the recipe, so here it is!

How To Make Snowman Rice Krispie Treats

Rice Krispies Treats – Start by making a batch of your favorite Rice Krispies treat recipe.  If you need a good version, here’s one of our favorites.

Snowman Body – Once the Rice Krispie treats have cooled (but not hardened) make 3 balls for each snowman body.  Make sure each ball is progressively smaller on each set.

Assemble The Snowman – Place the largest ball of the snowman body in a festive cupcake liner and then place a stick down the middle of it.  Then place the next two balls on top form the snowman.

Decorate – Cut the top of the stick off so nothing is showing.  Then decorate your snowman with your favorite treats.  Some candies I used were peppermint patties, Hershey’s kisses, mini Reese’s peanut butter cups, a fruit rollup and mini M&Ms.

Assembly Tips

Easy Handling – Spray your hands with cooking spray to prevent the treats from sticking to your hands as you roll them into balls.

Don’t Let Them Harden – Form the snowmen while the rice krispy treats are still warm and malleable.  If they cool too much before you form your snowmen, the rice krispy mixture will harden and be difficult to work with.

Make It Sturdy – Sucker sticks add a lot of stability to the snowmen, especially while they are still warm.
