Rice Krispie Squares don’t just have to be for the kids! You can create gourmet looking desserts in no time for your adult Christmas party that will fit the theme but let your guests reminisce about their childhood as they bite into the classic dessert.
Simply dip your Rice Krispie Squares in white chocolate and add some decorative sprinkles to pull the whole dessert together. You can also swap out the white chocolate for dark chocolate or milk chocolate depending on what your guests like the best.

Santa hats are everywhere at Christmas, and they’ve even made their way into our desserts. Instead of using a triangle shaped Rice Krispie Square for a Christmas tree, you can also use it to create a hat.
Use vanilla or cream cheese icing to add white “fluff” to the bottom and top of the Santa hat. You can always use a skinnier icing tool to create fun designs on the hat as well.

Candy Canes are a sweet staple around Christmas time, and it’s obviously going to make it’s way into our Rice Krispie Treats. Instead of creating a bright red, create a lighter red color and incorporate some candy cane pieces in the squares as well.

If you’re ready to take your Rice Krispie game to the next level, you’re ready for this recipe! Instead of dying a full batch of Rice Krispie Squares one color, try making each square multicolored.

Everyone needs a Christmas wreath! These Rice Krispie Treats are a fantastic favor to send home with guests and are so easy to make.
Instead of using your cookie cutter as a Rice Krispie cutter, simply fill the wreath cutter with the Rise Krispies as they harden so you can fit in both a little green and red. Stick M&M’s or another small candy in the green wreath for decorations.
