I  simply can’t believe that Christmas is two days away, y’all. Two days. Like in 48 hours. How is that even possible?

With the kiddos on Christmas break at school, we decided to have a little fun in the kitchen and make some Rice Krispies Pops.  With cake pops being all the rage these days, we figured we could do something similar, only easier!

{If you’ve ever made cake pops you know just how much work goes in to those bite-sized morsels of goodness.}

This is definitely a recipe where you want to get the kids in the kitchen and have them get involved.  Not only is it a great time to allow your children to learn in the kitchen, it makes for lasting family memories.

Yield: 50 pops
Prep Time: 10 minutes
Cook Time: 30 minutes
Total Time: 40 minutes

A fun twist to the traditional Rice Krispies Treats.

Ingredients

Instructions

  • In a large saucepan melt butter over low heat. Once melted, add marshmallows and stir until completely melted. Remove from heat and add Kellogg's Rice Krispies cereal to melted marshallow mixture. Stir until Rice Krispies are completely coated.
  • Thoroughly coat your hands with butter and make 1" balls with the mixture. Place balls on a piece of wax or parchment paper to cool. You will need to butter your hands often to keep the marshmallow from sticking to your hands.
  • Once they are cooled, insert lollipop stick into center of the ball. Melt chocolate or candy melts, according to the directions, and decorate to your hearts desire. We did white chocolate and red candy melts, and used festive holiday sprinkles for decorating. For some we coated the whole thing, some we just dipped the top. It's totally up to you on how you want to decorate. Once dipped and decorated, return to wax or parchment paper to harden.
  • Once the chocolate or candy melt has hardened, you can place in treat bag and tie with bakers twine.

    These would be perfect for school parties (granted your child’s school allows homemade goods), office parties, gifts, etc.

    They are so much fun to make and decorate.  We decided to package up ours with treats bags and used some red and white bakers twine for a little festive flair.

    I didn’t think about it until we had already completed ours, but using Kellogg’s Cocoa Krispies would be a tasty alternative.  You could even make two separate batches, one using Kellogg’s Rice Krispies and one using Kellogg’s Cocoa Krispies, and make a combo pops using both.  The really good ideas always come to me after the fact…

    These were really fun to make and decorate. If you are looking for something fun to do with the children, you definitely need to add these to the list.

    What activities do you like to do with your children during the holidays?
