Dad & The Boys Making Rice Krispies Squares! |
My kids love to make (and eat) Kellogg's Rice Krispies squares for special holidays and events: birthdays, Christmas, Halloween, Valentine's Day, and more. They also love to help out kids both locally and nationally. This week they had a chance to do both, and decided to participate in the Rice Krispies Treats for Toys programme from Kellogg's, which funds toys for children across Canada via The Salvation Army.
At this time of year, it especially hits home for my kids that while they are receiving gifts for the Holidays, other children may not be as fortunate. My kids begin clearing out unused toys, games, books and clothing in November, and we try to gift them to charity by early December.

Getting Ready to Make Rice Krispies Squares! |
We decided to create a Rice Krispies squares princess to submit to The Rice Krispies Treats for Toys Programme, shown below. I have included the "proper" instructions to make the princess, below, but I'll tell you how I made it (as I did not follow the instructions). When the Rice Krispies mixture was complete (melted butter and marshmallows coating the Rice Krispies cereal), I sculpted the princess, below. It was done when the mixture was still warm, and NOT after it had cooled in the fridge.

Our Princess Made From Rice Krispies Squares! |
While still warm, I added a Smarties face and attached it with icing sugar. I cute a Smarties candy in half to make the nose. I used Smarties to also decorate the crown and wand with "jewels". Icing sugar made the princess's face, hair, heart and embellishments. "Tangy Zangy" (or any flat ribbon candy) made the princess "dress", and "Tangy Zangy" (or any long thin tube candy) added length to the princess's hair, wand, and trimmed her dress. Everything was glued down by icing sugar. I also used candy sugar "sparkles" to add a little bit of fun to the princess!

Rice Krispie treats are always a huge hit in our home Jenna, LOVE them! I love this idea though for having a fun family activity, while helping to raise money for charity, especially at Christmas <3 Great job on the princess!

Aw ... the picture with Dad at the top is just priceless! Love it. So sweet. (I think my son would go g-ga for the racecar rice crispy squares!)
ReplyDeleteThese are great ideas! A few years ago I participated in a similar Rice Krispie contest and we created a 3D polar bear! It was lots of fun! You guys did a great job on your princess!
ReplyDeleteThanks Jennifer! A 3D polar bear would be AWESOME!
