Christmas Tree Rice Krispies are a great treat for kids Christmas parties and holiday gatherings. The kids will have a blast making these with you too. Making these Christmas Tree Rice Krispie treats is a great way to spend time together. It’s a great activity to do while the kids are out on holiday breaks.
Are Christmas Tree Rice Krispies hard to make? NOT AT ALL! I’m sure you have made Rice Krispie Treats in the past, right? If so, you are already a pro. You just need to do a little cutting and decorating!
I love to pack up these Christmas Tree Rice Krispies and deliver them with holiday cards as fun, food gifts. These treats pack very well in holiday plastic wrap or in disposable food storage containers and make a great, fun little holiday present. Just decorate with a little bow or ribbon and you have an instant gift!
