Rice Krispies paint brushes

For my very first Kellogg’s SnackPicks.com post I created these Rice Krispie Treat paint brushes. You might have seen them in our Art party collection dessert table feature over on Amy Atlas a month or so ago, but this morning I’m going to give you the simple “how tos.”

Collect your ingredients:

  • Kellogg’s Rice Krispies Cereal
  • Marshmallows
  • Butter ~ for dairy free, use vegan butter
  • Chocolate Wafers ~ for dairy free, use tinted icing
  • Wooden Ice Cream Spoons
  • Wax Paper

Make your Kellogg’s Rice Krispies Treats (cereal, butter and marshmallows) using the directions on the box.

Allow the mixture to cool from hot to warm, apply butter to your hands liberally, mold the treats into rectangles and place the shapes on a piece of wax paper to cool.

Before the treats harden completely, insert the wooden ice cream spoons about half way.

Heat the chocolate melts in a microwave safe bowl in increments of eight to nine seconds and stir between heating. Once the chocolate is completely melted, dip the Kellogg’s Rice Krispies Treats into the chocolate and place back on wax paper to dry.

As always, I hope you’re inspired!

    Where do you find those colored choc wafers? I scoured the grocery store today and couldn’t find them anywhere! Would love to know where to find them, making these for my daughter’s painting bday party.
