Here’s my Rice Crispie Treat Pops…with M & Ms<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<\/tbody>\n<\/table>\n

Devin and Caitlin had their first anniversary this past week. They’ve been married 1 whole year. I made some rice crispy treat pops for them as they dropped by on their way home from St. Louis where Devin had a summer internship at Price Waterhouse.<\/p>\n\n\n\n\n
<\/a><\/td>\n<\/tr>\n
The newlyweds came by for dinner<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<\/tbody>\n<\/table>\n

<\/p>\n\n\n\n\n
<\/a><\/td>\n<\/tr>\n
I made ribs and yummy side dishes and peach crisp for dessert! Check
out all my yummy recipes at  The Weekday Chef, my other blog.<\/a><\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<\/tbody>\n<\/table>\n

Caitlin had to stay behind in Utah and work at her PR job. How fair is that?<\/span> NOT much fun for her.  I’m glad they get a few weeks together before school starts up again. Devin has 2 semesters left to get his master’s degree. Yee Hah!<\/span><\/strong> A college grad at last!<\/span> <\/p>\n\n\n\n\n
<\/a>
So anyway…..Here’s how I made my cool crispie pops….<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n
Heat up 1\/4 cup or 1\/2 a stick of butter with a 10 oz. bag of marshmallows in
a pan on the stove or in the microwave. <\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<\/tbody>\n<\/table>\n\n\n\n\n
<\/a><\/td>\n<\/tr>\n
Then when it is white and melty mix in 6 cups of Kelloggs Rice Crispies<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<\/tbody>\n<\/table>\n

I looked on the rice crispy website for some creative things to do with rice crispy treats. I followed their recipe which is HERE at the Kelloggs website.<\/a>
They had some cute pops using colorful Popsicle sticks. But I was out of them.<\/p>\n\n\n\n\n
<\/a><\/td>\n<\/tr>\n
I poured all but about 3 cups into a 9 x 9 buttered pan and topped with M & Ms…yum!<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<\/tbody>\n<\/table>\n

\ufeff <\/p>\n\n\n\n\n
<\/a><\/td>\n<\/tr>\n
Then I melted 1\/3 cup of white candy melt discs in the microwave for 1 minute<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<\/tbody>\n<\/table>\n

\ufeff <\/p>\n

<\/div>\n\n\n\n\n
<\/a><\/td>\n<\/tr>\n
Then I buttered my hands and formed the rest into 4 balls. Then I dipped the ends of them into the melted white chocolate and sprinkled the colorful toppers on as well as some M & Ms.<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<\/tbody>\n<\/table>\n
<\/div>\n
<\/div>\n\n\n\n\n
<\/a><\/td>\n<\/tr>\n
The M and Ms kept sliding off the balls….It may have been the slippery butter! So
I pressed them into the white candy melts before they hardened…NOT easy to do!<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<\/tbody>\n<\/table>\n
<\/div>\n
<\/div>\n

I didn’t have any Popsicle sticks so I cut some BBQ skewers and  curled some ribbons and tied them on.<\/p>\n\n\n\n\n
<\/a><\/td>\n<\/tr>\n
Then I poked the wooden skewers into those cute balls and here
they are with their curly ribbons decorating them!<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<\/tbody>\n<\/table>\n

\ufeff <\/p>\n\n\n\n\n
<\/a><\/td>\n<\/tr>\n
Then I had to sit back and taste-test my treats…..they were yummo!<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<\/tbody>\n<\/table>\n

\ufeff <\/p>\n

<\/div>\n
<\/div>\n\n\n\n\n
<\/a><\/td>\n<\/tr>\n
My little granddaughters dropped by and guess what treat they loved?<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<\/tbody>\n<\/table>\n
<\/div>\n\n\n\n\n
<\/a><\/td>\n<\/tr>\n
Here are my finished “Rice Crispy Treat Pops”<\/p>\n
<\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
So Megan and Marisa came over to swim today. Guess who got the last 2 POPS?<\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
<\/a><\/div>\n<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<\/tbody>\n<\/table>\n

Yeah, they were so funny! My older granddaughter said, “These are delicious!” So cute! They loved my little rice crispie treat pops.  I love them! \ud83d\ude00<\/p>\n
