Penguin Rice Krispie Treats
Aren’t they the cutest little treats you have ever seen? I am in love!
And the best part is how incredibly easy these penguin treats are to make — no fancy decorating skill required.
Getting all your ingredients and supplies together is the most difficult part (and it just requires shopping). Making them is a breeze!
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:
- Simply coat each Rice Krispie Treat in melted candy melts,
- add eyes.
- add a nose and a belly,
- and finally add 2 feet.

I hope that you and your kiddos enjoy this fun and easy Penguin treat recipe!

Repeat with all the penguins.

I love how you took a class Tuna casserole and gave it a healthy makeover. This looks so good, and I bet no one would even notice that it’s better for you than the classic. Thanks for the great recipe!
Oh my gosh this is one of my favorite childhood meals, so easy and good. I love your version and will have to make it soon to try it out.
Great idea to lighten up this classic casserole. I use Mazola for cooking – love it!
I love tuna pasta, it’s such good comfort food!
I think tuna and green peas are a perfect match. Your lighter and healthier combination – especially the addition of whole grain crackers makes this crunchy casserole dish unique.
OMG, these are so stinking cute! And who doesn’t love rice Kristen treats. Pinning for later.
These are just so cute. Looks sweet and fun to share with others!
