Last week I received a Paperless Post invitation that read, “You are invited to a Mother/Daughter Virtual Slumber Party”! My first thought was, what a great idea, followed by, what creative recipes can make for this FANTASTIC event? I immediately began planning and quickly remembered a recipe I stumbled across in the spring – Watermelon Rice Krispie Treats. My first go at the recipe was a huge success, the kids literally ate them up in one day. Okay, maybe I helped a little, but they were just so darn cute – and tasty too! I now had a reason to make them again – these Watermelon Rice Krispie treats would be the perfect snack for our virtual Mother/Daughter Slumber Party. A much needed girls’ night indeed!
Now the recipe. There’s nothing more classic than a rice krispie treat. When I was a kid, I would purposely get my hands sticky with the marshmallow-y rice krispie mixture just so that I could eat the bits straight from my hands. Grab the kids and head to the kitchen, this recipe is guaranteed to create fun memories for you and your family!
Making treats at home are usually taste better than store bought, and for this recipe that is the case. That way you can reduce the amount of processed foods and preservatives. Hope you enjoy this recipe as much as we did!
~Until next time..
