They are perfect for kids to make too. It is is a lot of fun to dip them in the chocolate and decorate with sprinkles. 😉
Another yummy idea is Dark Chocolate Covered Rice Krispie Treats.
If you love dark chocolate, try dipping some of the squares in that. It is so decadent!

Chocolate covered rice krispie balls are also really good.
If you want to try a new shape, just try making balls instead.
Peanut Butter lovers will go crazy over Chocolate Covered Peanut Butter Rice Krispie treats!

These would be fun and yummy to add to your Christmas platter to give to teachers or neighbors.
Can you freeze chocolate covered rice krispie treats?
Yes! We love to have a baking day and make all sorts of yummy treats.
I often will make a double batch and freeze some. They are just as amazing and it is so handy to just pop them out of the freezer.
This is a great idea if you have Christmas parties coming up and want to bake some items ahead. You can spend more time prepping early on to avoid last minute stress and chaos.
I always try to do as much as I can before the holidays so I can just sit back and enjoy time with my friends and family. That is what it is truly about.
