Ingredients
Scale
Rice Krispie Treats
- 12 Kellogg’s premade Rice Krispie Treats
- Wooden Popsicle Sticks (12 pieces)
Frosting
- 3 cups Powdered Sugar
- 1/2 cup Butter (unsalted, softened)
- 2 tablespoons Milk
- 1 teaspoon Vanilla Extract
- Food Coloring (various colors)
Instructions
- Insert sticks: Press one wooden popsicle stick firmly into the bottom center of each Rice Krispie Treat to create a handle for dipping and decoration.
- Make frosting: In a large mixing bowl, combine the powdered sugar, softened butter, milk, and vanilla extract. Stir until smooth and creamy, forming a thick frosting.
- Divide frosting: Separate the frosting evenly into 4 or 5 small bowls depending on how many colors you want to use.
- Add color: Add a few drops of different food coloring to each bowl and mix well until the desired shades are achieved.
- Decorate treats: Dip each Rice Krispie Treat into the colored frosting, then use a spatula or spoon to spread the frosting around the treat to create a dripping paint effect. Allow the frosting to set slightly before serving.
Notes
- For easier dipping, chill the frosting slightly to thicken before applying.
- Use gel food coloring for more vibrant colors without thinning the frosting.
- Store the decorated treats in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 2 days.
- Feel free to use homemade Rice Krispie Treats if preferred.
- These treats are best enjoyed fresh to maintain the crisp texture.
