Ooey gooey Rice Krispie Treats are my favorite! Did you know you can make allergy friendly Rice Krispie Treats? Yep! And, today, we’re going to do it!
Making treats for St. Patrick’s Day is always fun and today, I chose one of my favorites, Allergy Friendly Rice Krispie Treats. With just a little food coloring and some extra marshmallows, you can turn this easy to make treat into a festive class party treat or just something fun for the kids at home.
One of the main reasons I like to make Rice Krispie Treats at home is because I can control the size. You know those HUGE Rice Krispie Treats you see at the coffee shop? That’s what I love to make-the bigger, the better! Just grab a smaller and deeper pan like these Wilton 8×8 Baking Dishes.
Want to add a little pizazz? I picked out the “lucky” charms in the Lucky Charms box. You can also cover these in green sprinkles too, the only reason why I didn’t do that is because I didn’t have any on hand. So, instead, my kids got green unicorns and clover covered hats. Not bad though, right?
I told myself I was going completely sugar free then I got the idea for these and could not resist. They’re full of sugar-full of it. But, if you’re scheduling a “cheat day” then these are what you are looking for in a treat. The best part is the gooeyness of the marshmallows, there’s a few tricks I’m going to share with you just for that so be sure to check out the recipe below.
