Three Words to describe Rice Krispies Treats.. Sticky, Gooey and Delicious! What is better then all of that is you have a chance to win.. $100 GC to help make your own Rice Krispies Memories! But first let me let you enter my world of Rice Krispies and my Challenge of Stickiness of making my special Snowman for this recipe challenge. Here is how I did it… or tried atleast. Remember it was a sticky gooey situation. A little melty as well.. lol.
Rice Krispies (TM) Snowman
By Shannon Snow (hence the Snowman Idea)
Ingredients:
3 Tablespoons of Real Butter
10 oz of Marshmallows
6 Cups of Rice Krispies (TM)
1/2 Cup of Peanut Butter
1 package of Almond Bark (white)
Other items needed.. Raisins, Chocolate cookie, pretzels for Snowman
Directions:
Melt Butter and Marshmallows in Large Microwave safe bowl for about 2 to 3 minutes. Then Stir with a buttered cooking utensil. Mix in Rice Krispies (TM)
Cool in rectangle pan. Use Parchment paper if needed to press into pan to cool. When cool, cut into squares, and frost with peanut butter, put another square on top and form into circles.
While the treats cool, heat almond bark in pan until melted.
Dip round balls into almond bark. This is kind of messy, but it made the treats extra yummy, especially with the peanut butter surprises!
Make different shape balls, and then make the snowman. Add eyes, buttons, arms, and hat. I used raisins for eyes, nose and buttons, cookie for hat, and pretzels for arms. You can use your imagination. I cooled the snowman outside so it would cool faster.
With the extra treats, I made snowballs with peanut butter inside. I did not dip all of them. My sons ate the ones I had dipped before I could take a picture!

Besides baking, I think my kids’ favorite tradition is playing and singing Christmas carols at the piano. When I was a kid, my mother played, and I sang along. Now I play and my kids sing along. Somehow it makes the house feel wonderful.
