    There's no better time than the holidays to get in the kitchen with your little ones and whip up something sweet! These Rudolph Rice Krispies® Treats are an easy Christmas dessert that your children can help prepare, making the bars a perfect addition to your festive holiday platters.

    Hey, friends! I've got Christmas music on the radio in the background, a mug of Gingerbread Spice tea on my desk, and an evergreen candle burning nearby. That can only mean one thing -- 'tis the season!

    While it's the happiest time of the year, this is also the busiest time of the year! Between family gatherings, school performances, class parties, Christmas shopping, and holiday parties, I know that I'm not the only one juggling many balls in the air. I'm not complaining about all of the excitement, but I do know that I need to be prepared with a game plan to tackle this season so that it doesn't leave me exhausted, stressed out, and unable to enjoy the fun.

    And one of my favorite go-to options for an easy, kid-friendly dessert that suits just about every occasion? The classic Kellogg's® Rice Krispies® Treats! They're the answer to your holiday parties, after-school snacks, or neighborhood gifts this season! Best of all, they start with just 3 simple ingredients:

    Kellogg's® Rice Krispies® Treats, Butter, and Marshmallows

    Spencer loves to help me with just about any kitchen task -- especially when it involves sweets -- so I gave him the task of measuring (and eating) the marshmallows. I handled anything involving the stovetop!

    After melting the butter and marshmallows, I added the cereal and pressed the mixture into a prepared dish.

    Once the Kellogg's® Rice Krispies® Treats were cool, it was time to decorate! I cut the bars into 16 triangles, and then finished them off with our Rudolph toppings: miniature pretzels, round red chocolates, candy eyes, and a tube of frosting to act as the glue.

    Spencer wanted to help (again), so I squeezed the frosting in the correct spots and then I let him finish the faces. Notice the bowl of cereal on the side, which he just had to have for snack as soon as he saw the box!

    You've got to love a dessert "hack" that's so easy even a toddler can do it!

    I foresee many more batches of these goodies in my near future. They're much faster than baking cookies or a cake, they're easy to transport, and my kids can't get enough.

    The older boys made a big dent in our stash as soon as they walked in the door from school, of course. Smiles all around, and such a fun way to celebrate the season!

        I agree, Robyn! I love to get my boys in the kitchen, but not surprisingly, they are much more willing when it involves something sweet!

        Hey, Sarah! I get the candy eyes in the baking aisle (near the sprinkles and frosting) at my local grocery store. I live in the country, in the middle of nowhere, and even I can find them at my one grocery store. Hopefully a store near you stocks them too! If not, I'm sure that you can find them on Amazon. They're made by Wilton. 🙂
