I am a sucker for Rice Krispies Treats. But when my local grocery store was OUT of Rice Krispies, I decided to buy Trix cereal. A few days ago, I was ready to make the Trix Treats. I asked the boys to help me make a treat. James said no but Colin was willing to help as long as he could have some of what he made!
Colin stirred and poured. He was a great helper!

Oh what a cute idea! I would never have thought to use Trix in this way. I bet they taste amazing too! Thanks for sharing 🙂
I had to pin those. I can’t resist a crunchy snack, and this one will have plenty! Yum!!!
These look like so much fun! And might I add delicious!
I’ve never thought to use Trix to make the treats! I’ve done Kix and the usual suspects..but never Tricks. They look yummy!
I’ve used Corn Flakes before, too.
YUM!! I need to try this with some of the gluten free cereals we have…just keep trying cereals and I bet we’ll find lots of yummy mixes! Thanks for sharing!
I love Rice Krispie Treats but these sound even better!! YUM! I had to pin 🙂
I sure wish my brain worked that way. To be able to change something up for the better on the fly like that. I think that those are no doubt much prettier and more flavorful than plain Rice Krispie Treats. I used to make them all the time for my son when he was little. I still make them when he comes to visit so next time I’ll surprise him with these! He loves Trix!
