Bug-ful Rice Crispy Treats

👻Halloween: TRICK OR TREAT TIP Part 1 of 3 🎃

The Classic Rice Crispy Square has been a beloved treat for me since I was a kid since they were NO BAKE and NO FUSS. I still make them every year but with a Halloween Twist🎃

One of my treasured childhood memories is my Mom as my Girl Scout Leader. She made Rice Crispy Squares for our troop back in the ’60’s! They became a favorite in our house, especially for Halloween❣️

TRICKS & TIPS 🎃

-Instead of using cooking spray to prevent sticky hands and utensils while preparing your treats, I use a dab of water instead. Just dip your hands and utensils in water - it will make your preparation so easy and not so messy!

-Decorate with gummy worms, candy corn, Halloween sprinkles or any favorite Holiday candy
