Rice Krispies Christmas Trees Recipe

The holiday season is pretty much here and I could not be more excited!

I love taking twists on normal desserts or dishes to make them more themed ( I think it is working at Disneyland that did that to me ( I * heart* theming) )

These trees can easily be made in advance and will be the hit at any gathering – PLUS they are gluten – free if you use gluten – free rice krispie cereal ( it is right next to the normal stuff )

I saw in a family circle magazine recently this recipe and they used Reese’s mini peanut butter cups as trucks I think that was SUCH a cute idea!

This is a easy enough recipe that kids can help ๐Ÿ™‚ This recipe makes about 6 trees

Make sure you get a funnel for this recipe – makes it easy to create the trees — make sure to light grease the funnel so the treat does not stick

To decorate the trees I took the lazy route – I put the sprinkles on a plate and rolled the tree shape treats into the sprinkles

Here are some close up pictures ๐Ÿ™‚ Here is the one I posted on Instagram ( Follow me on Instagram Budget Savvy Diva )
