Cotton Candy is a fun sweet treat for all ages. These Cotton Candy Rice Krispy Treats combine two childhood treats into one to make the new favorite childhood treat!
Or if you are like me, you like these more than your kids do!!
I am a super nut for rice krispy treats. I think they are so easy and can be put together in a snap. You can microwave your marshmallows or over the stove which ever you prefer. I actually do both methods. It just depends on the mood I am in on which way I chose to do it.
This treat is a continuance of my daughter’s birthday last Friday. I whipped a few things for our little celebration for her. It was just us so I didn’t want to go to heavy on the food especially after she requestedย homemade pizza for dinner. I knew she would be getting lots of sweet treats but this stayed with the theme so I just HAD to make them!
Now that I have discovered Duncan Hines Frosting Creations I am hooked. I have used the flavorings for cupcakes and I knew it could totally work with adding it to marshmallows. I was worried that the flavor would not come through after everything was put together but I was wrong! This worked out great and I can’t wait to try other flavors!! ENJOY!
