I was getting ready for Sunday dinner and wanted to have a little something sweet on-hand... I love the unexpected fruity flavor of these Jello Rice Krispy Treats. Since I'm always cutting recipes in half or less, I happened to have some lime Jello open, so that's the flavor I used. Also thought the slight hint of green worked well for spring:@) Sprinkles are totally optional, but are always an easy way to make things more festive, and holiday choices are everywhere.
One note: I'm always saying 'you know your crowd'...
I purposely cut back on the Jello,
I just wanted a hint of flavor, not a big punch of flavor.
I made a half batch and used sugar free Jello,
I'll list what I did below.
