Lego Rice Krispies Treats

In planning my 5 year old’s LEGO birthday party, I wanted treats that would be easy to serve and minimal mess involved, so when I saw the idea to make Lego Rice Krispie Treats, I knew it was right up my alley! First, make up a batch of Rice Krispies Treats…you will need:

• 3 tablespoons butter or margarine
• 4 cups mini marshmallows
• 6 cups Rice Krispies cereal

1. Coat a 9x13 inch pan with cooking spray.
2. Melt butter in a large saucepan over low heat. Add the marshmallows and stir constantly until melted completely. Remove from heat.
3. Add cereal and stir until all cereal is coated.
4. Use a butter spatula or wax paper to spread the mixture into your 13x9 inch pan. Allow to cool.
5. Cut into rectangles.
6. Use a little dab of frosting to stick the M&M’s or other colorful candy to each “Lego” piece. (I used leftover frosting from the birthday cake I made).
7. Serve or put into individual baggies to send home as party favors.
