We are sharing a fun Christmas Rice Krispies recipe today.   And we hope you will enjoy making it as much as our bunch did.
Our grandkids just spent a fun afternoon making these Snowmen Rice Krispie Treats.  And it was such a hit that it’s sure to become one of our newest holiday traditions.   Traditional Rice Krispie Treats has always been an easy and delicious snack for our family. It’s an easy three-step recipe that is one of our go-to recipes.   We are always looking for fun variations.
 

We took the traditional recipe and turned it into a fun craft that is not only edible but delicious.   These Christmas Rice Krispies were a hands-down favorite from this much-loved treat.  These adorable Rice Krispie Snowmen with their bright-colored scarves, stovepipe hats, little round eyes, and big smiles are an easy project for a cold, snowy afternoon with the children.

How to Make these Rice Krispie Snowmen

It’s fun to assemble everything on a table and let the fun begin.  Depending on the ages of the children, they can assist in making all the snowballs, hats and scarves.   Or if they are very young, an adult can have everything ready, and the little ones can decorate their very own snowman.

  • Hats are made from dipping marshmallows into dipping chocolate and placed on a chocolate cookie.
  • Scarves can be quickly designed from fruit roll-ups.  They are cut into lengths and sliced at the end to create fringe.
  • The bodies are created from the traditional Rice Krispie treat recipe. Then shaped into balls or should we say snowballs

Snowman rice Krispie treats are super cute and easy to assemble.   Their hats are attached using marshmallow cream.  And a few mini chocolate chips make great eyes, a mouth, and cute buttons.  This little guy’s scarf is folded and tied in the front in a sassy manner.   He’s finished off with pretzels for arms.

It’s that time of the year that memories are made and last a lifetime. So many of our fondest memories of raising our children were centered around holiday recipes and crafts like this one!

We made a few of the Rice Krispie Snowmen with dried cranberries for lips just for fun. The snowman in the green scarf has cranberry lips.   And we also used regular pretzels (blue scarf) for curved arms.

      We cut up this little chewy “Welch’s fruit snacks”. They are a soft candy but I believe any soft candy would work. Have fun!
