Aren’t they the cutest little treats you have ever seen? I am in love!

How to Make Penguin Rice Krispie Treats

Start by gathering everything that you will need: Rice Krispie Treats, black candy melts, white candy melts, candy eyes, and orange M&Ms.

To save time we used pre-made Rice Krispies Treats for this recipe. But, you could totally make your own if you want you this bakery-style Rice Krispies treats recipe. It’s your call.

You will also need popsicle sticks and either parchment or wax paper to make these cute little creatures.

Then, putting the penguin treats together is as easy peasy.

Here’s how:

1. Simply coat each Rice Krispie Treat in melted candy melts,
2. add eyes.
3. add a nose and a belly,
4. and finally add 2 feet.
