15 Homemade Christmas Rice Krispie Treats

By A Cultivated Nest Team

Rice Krispie Squares, the original plane Jane treats, are I must confess one of my favorites. They are super easy to make, the ingredients are not expensive, and they are tasty! So it should be no surprise that people are adding their own special twists to these classics, and tailoring them to their favorite holidays. We’ve rounded up 15 Homemade Christmas Rice Krispie Treats that we want to try this year, and we’re pretty sure you’ll want to as well!

There is pretty much no reason not to include the kids when making these. They’re so easy, and so fun! They hold up great as food gifts, especially if you put them in cellophane treat bags. I always stock up on extra so I’ll be ready for holiday treat giving!

This is also the time of year that I buy Rice Krispie cereal, mini marshmallows, and Rice Krispies Treat bars in bulk. That way I won’t run out of any “food crafting” supplies!

Getting a Bigger Bang for Your Buck with Homemade Christmas Rice Krispie Treats

While Rice Krispie Treats are already one of the cheapest desserts you can make, there are ways to make them even cheaper!  You need not get the name brand Rice Krispies (although you are pretty sure of what you’re getting) you can experiment with no names brands and cheaper branks as well.  Same goes for marshmallows, and butter.  If you’re hip to using margarine instead of butter, margarine is also often less expensive than butter as well. Put your frugal grocery shopping skills to use and it won’t cost much at all to make these fun homemade Christmas Rice Krispie Treats!

Happy Holidays!
