A few days ago I posted a fun back to school treat idea, BTS Apple Shaped Cupcakes, and they were such a hit that I decided to share another easy recipe to celebrate the new school year— Back to School Rice Krispies Treats!

This recipe calls for a double batch of ooey, gooey Rice Krispies Treats, which are then decorated in red, yellow, blue and green colored chocolate and topped with edible alphabet and apple icing decorations. These Rice Krispies treats are just too cute, and are a wonderful way to start the new school year!

The pre-made sugar decorations that top the treats can easily be found at Michaels, Walmart and other stores that sell baking items. But keep in mind that they are seasonal— though Amazon sells them all year long.

We love Rice Krispies Treats in our household and make a batch or two for every holiday. Everyone loves decorating their own treats, and the best part, of course, is eating them at the end. I’m sure these Back to School Rice Krispies Treats will be a hit in your house, too!
