    We’re Christmas obsessed over here. I told Kaylee that we had a new book coming and it was Santa Bruce by Ryan T. Higgins! We had no clue what the book was about, but have loved all the previous Bruce Books and right away we went to the kitchen. My daughter wanted to make Christmas Rice Krispie Treats so we got to work.

    Once the book came and we were ready to enjoy our treats while we read our new book!

    She quickly put her new Santa Bruce ornament on her mini tree and we got to reading. By the end of the book she was asking for crackers, you’ll have to read the book to see why. 🙂

    Our Christmas Rice Krispie Treats recipe is a bit like the Santa Bruce book, it’s not the traditional cookie, while Bruce isn’t the traditional Santa, Bruce is a bear! He makes the forced effort to make his forest friends happy with the help of his little critter family.

    We like putting them into a little box when we give as gifts. These would be perfect along with our homemade white chocolate nonpareils.

      Will this work without the choc chips?

        Yes, I’d add more marshmallows to compensate.

      Do you think this will work with plain cheerios or corn flakes? I am having a hard time finding Rice Krispies at the store.

        We couldn’t find them recently either so instead, we actually used the store brand crispies cereal and it tasted perfect! We’re not sure how the flavor would be with other cereals. We have made them with fruit pebbles, but that’s not so easy to adapt for the holiday 🙂

      Can you freeze them?

        Yes! To freeze, you want to allow them to be completely set. I like to place on parchment paper and flash freeze and then place them into a freezer-safe bag. You can freeze for up to 3 months. 🙂

      Can I put in a pan instead of making balls? And if so what size?

      • Courtney

        December 21, 2022 at 4:01 pm

        Yes! We’ve also made them in a casserole dish. I’d say anything from 9×9 to 9×13.

      Thank you! Using the pan worked great!

      Mine didn’t come out as pretty as yours but they taste fantastic. My sprinkles kinda bled/melted!?!? Any suggestions on that?
      Thanks

        Hi Rita! Aren’t they delicious!! 😀 What kind of sprinkles did you use? We haven’t had issues with the dye coming off, but maybe if the mixture is too hot or if you used regular sprinkles, not nonpareils or hardier sprinkles, possibly?

      How long are these good for at room temperature? Wanting to make the a week to a few days ahead of time. Will they last on the counter?

        We usually keep them for 2-3 days. Hope that helps 🙂

      About what measure of sprinkles did you use?

        December 19, 2023 at 6:08 pm

        We usually measure sprinkles, chocolate, and garlic with our heart. 🙂 I think maybe about 1/8 cup? You want to make sure you can see them in the treats.
