Sometimes I find a recipe that's been around forever and has many different names and variations. That sounds like the case with these Nutty Rice Krispie Cookies. But no matter what you call them, (No-Bake Num-Nums here:@), if you're looking for an easy sweet treat that comes together quickly, ~and~ that the kids can help make... Don't hesitate to give these a try folks. Do I consider them cookies or candy? I probably lean more towards candy, but they are a great addition to the cookie tray or charcuterie board. Why not mix things up and make half white chocolate, half milk chocolate. Or how about using chunky peanut butter, or they even suggest different cereals. I'd like to add some pretzels, anything goes...
And my best tip: To absolutely ensure ease of melting and a fun experience, make them with candy melts. They work great and there are some good quality brands at the stores these days:@) Recipe is easily cut in half. Sprinkles are optional, and of course, change up the color for any holiday, occasion, or sporting event🏈🏈🏈
I was truly surprised by how much I liked these little treats!
