Revisiting Rice Krispies and a $100 Giveaway!

By 173 Comments

Remember these critters?  Welcoming their cute little faces back to the blog can only mean one thing; it’s time for another Rice Krispies competition!  With the rising mercury and school free, lazy long days officially here, the new theme for this round is… you guessed it, favorite summer pastimes.  As we prepare to introduce our newest entry into the mix, I wanted to take a minute to reflect back on our recipe from the first round.

When you strip away the feathers and facial features (apologies to my furry and feathered friends) , what you’re left with is a refreshing and simple lemonade rice krispie treat that can be shaped and molded to your liking or simply cut into squares and served up as is.  As you can see with mine below, I cut them into letters and had a little fun with my picture.  I’ve attached the basic recipe at the end of this post, so feel free to whip up a batch and let your own creativity flow; if you can keep from eating them all first, that is.

We’ll be looking for your support and votes again soon over at the Rice Krispie’s Facebook page, so get ready.  In the mean time, inquiring minds want to know… What’s your most creative idea for serving up rice krispie treats?   Let me know in the comments below for a chance to win a $100 Visa gift card!  Other entries can be earned through the usual methods:

  • Following Rice Krispies on Facebook (a necessity when it comes time to vote for your favorite entry)
  • Following Mommie Cooks on Facebook
  • Following Mommie Cooks through Twitter
  • Or just go organic and join directly through RSS or email

For additional chances to win, be sure to visit my teammates blogs where they’ll be giving away gift cards as well.

The contest will close on July 4th and the winner will be announced on the 5th.  Stay tuned for our newest summertime entry in the next couple weeks and good luck!

Update:  After throwing the comments into random.org and hitting go, the winning comment was number 1!  Congrats Mami2jcn!

  11. Oh it’s hard to think of an idea so early in the morning. I think rice krispies are best enjoyed in their simplest from! But adding a handfull of this or that can really add a spark!

  12. Hmm my most creative idea for rice krispie treats… I think I would make heart cut-outs with the bars and stack/ decorate them like a layer cake, frosted and topped with ganache! I’d play around with different flavors and cut-outs, depending on the holiday/ occasion.

  17. I think they would be cute made into balls and then dipped in white choclate with sprinkles…then instead of the new rave cake pops we would have RK “treat pops”!!

  30. As for a rice krispie treats idea, what about doing a cake pop kind of thing with rice krispies mixed in and putting them on a stick?

  58. We love rice krispie treats- our fave tradition is adding a little red food coloring and making heart shaped ones to share at Valentines. 🙂 But they’ve been served in all different shades and shapes at our house.
    Love your bunnies on the grassy hill!

    My most creative idea for serving up these delish treat would be to make Rice Krispies pops dipped in melted candy coats.

  70. We make the Rice Krispie recipe, roll it into small balls and form them on to a popsicle stick. Then we dip them in various toppings, like chocolate or nuts. The are a great dessert or treat, especially for a large group of kids!

  82. Probably the most creative thing that we have done with Rice Krispie Treats is we made them to look like decorated Christmas cookies one year and served them as part of a holiday cookie tray. The kids really had fun making the shapes and decorating them.

  87. I like to cute them in shapes based on the time of year – flowers, christmas trees, easter eggs, leaves… or any fun shape, put them on a Popsicle stick and dip them in chocolate…mmmmm. You could even add sprinkles, nuts, marshmellows, or any other yummy snack to the outside!

I roll them into little balls and dip them in chocolate (both milk and white) and then in sprinkles. So yummy! Thank you for sharing your creativity with me tonight.

  122. Hmmmm…. To be honest I havent worked a lot with Rice Krispies. But I think they are similar to Rice Bubbles. I make these little Bubble Bumblebees, marshmellows, banana and honey. So yummy and a super cute treat for the young at heart. 🙂

  123. Typically I add white chocolate to my krispie treats, but I once made some with peanut butter then dipped them in melted chocolate. Those were great too 🙂

  136. I love building things out of RK Treats. They’re just like blocks, but stickier! 🙂

    And you can cover them in ganache to make everything stick together. Yes, it’s messy. But oh, so much fun!

  144. I add Halloween “sprinkles” in orange, purple, and black and use Halloween cookie cutters of various shapes to cut them out for Halloween party treats!

  145. Rice crispy treats work well on popsicle sticks. You can color them for any occasion.

    Hope you are enjoying Vermont. We head up next week.

  146. I’d never really thought about it before, but I think I’d mix in some almond extract, dried cherries, slivered almonds, mini marshmallows and chocolate chips to make a rocky-road inspired Rice Krispie treat!

  151. The only creative thing I’ve ever done is to put them on a stick, dip it chocolate and let the children decorate them.

  160. I once made a large Christmas tree out of Rice Krispies with smaller bars decorated like presents. It was a big hit with all of my nieces and nephews!
