My Rice Krispies Treats™ Holiday Table Show-Stopper and a $100 Visa Gift Card Giveaway

Earlier this month Rice Krispies and The Motherhood contacted me about participating in another Rice Krispie Treat Recipe Box Challenge with the goal of creating a Rice Krispies Treats™ Holiday Table Show-Stopper.  (See my winning recipe from the July 4th Rice Krispies Treats Recipe Box Challenge here.) I am very impressed with the other entries that I’ve seen which you can view here.  You will find a complete list of all 30 participating bloggers at the bottom of this post.  Judges will choose and announce the winner of this Rice Krispies Treats Recipe Box Challenge December 21st, so check back here to find out who won!

Below is a photograph of all of the ingredients and supplies I bought for my Rice Krispies Treats recipe, not knowing what I was going to make at the time.  The funny thing is.. my final Rice Krispies Treats™ Holiday Table Show-Stopper recipe doesn’t include ANY of the ingredients in the photograph below, except Rice Krispies and marshmallows… oh, and icing.

  1. I love your mis-matched dudes! So adorable and fun!

    My favorite Rice Krispie Treat recipe is my mom’s – traditional with green food coloring and red cinnamon dots.

  2. I love your gingerbread men, they are so cute and what a lot of fun! My favorite rice krispies treats are the ones made with chocolate and peanut butter.

  3. Very nice! I love your mis matched krispy treats! They are too cute. They look like little men, and would be cute to bake for Father’s Day or something too 🙂

    My favorite rice krispies treat is their original rice krispy treat recipe. Every now and then I like to drizzle some chocolate on top. It’s so easy to make and great to give to family and friends for all occasions.

    Winning this would be so wonderful. Not only would I bake some yummy Rice Krispy treats, but since my fiance and I are saving for our upcoming wedding this gift card would sure be a big help. Thank you for the opportunity!

  4. They are adorable! I think the kids will love them! I like plain old rice krispie treat squares, but sometimes it is fun to mix it up!

  5. This is a really cute idea that kids would love. I imagine the children in my home would have such a fun time mixing and matching “outfits”.

  6. I think your Mismatched Rice Krispies Treats Gingerbread Men are adorable! I’ve been making Rice Krispie Marshmallow Treats for more than 40 years. I’ve tried many variations, including ones with peanut butter, chocolate, or caramel (three of my favorite foods); however, my favorite recipe is the original 🙂
    In fact, I think I’ll go make some now.
    Thanks for the giveaway.

  7. I love your recipe idea! I think children especially will enjoy putting together their own special treat, the mix & match idea is awesome! 🙂 And one of my favorite ways is to just make the original recipe, but shape into fun shapes — I’ll have to try your idea!

  8. Wow, they are cute. We aren’t very creative, and we usually just make the basic ones, although sometimes we put sprinkles on top.

  9. My favorite recipe with Rice Krispies is Scotcheroos, but i LOVE those mismatched gingerbread men!! Definitely need to make those this year 🙂

  10. I’d have to go with the best being off the Kellogg’s Rice Krispies box. I’d tried various other rice cereal and toppings but always go back to the original.

  11. What a fun idea! The Mismatched Rice Krispies Treats Gingerbread Men are just the cutest thing to make. This would be fun for kids because it gives them the opportunity to dress their own little gingerbread man. I’ll definately be making these for my daughter and her little guests.

  15. I LOVE your little mismatched people! What a cute and colorful idea! I just might steal this one!

  16. I love your idea, but my favorite rice crispies recipe is a rice crispies cupcake with marshmallow icing that my sister created.

  17. The mismatched gingerbread men are so cute! I am sure my daughter would have lots of fun mixing them up to make different looks.

  18. Those are adorable! What a fabulous idea. I will have to try that one with my kiddos.
