I used the seasonal holiday colored Rice Krispies cereal for these peppermint Rice Krispie bars, but they’d probably be just as tasty with the regular cereal! And while I cut mine into squares, feel free to take your cookie cutters and cut your bars out in fun holiday shapes! Kids would probably have a lot of fun helping you frost a Rice Krispie snowman or snowflake bar!
