Dr. Seuss is, by far, one of the most beloved children's book authors. His stories are timeless, and will go on to entertain children (and adults!) for generations to come. Every year when Dr Seuss' birthday comes around on March 2, I like to pay tribute with a special treat. In the past I've shared Grinch cookies, which were a huge hit — and continue to be popular during both Christmastime and Dr. Seuss' birthday — but this year I wanted something a bit more colorful. I asked my daughter about her favorite Dr. Seuss book and she immediately proclaimed The Lorax, which focuses on the environment.

The Lorax was one of Dr. Seuss' favorite books, too, so it was only fitting that we make a fun dessert featuring the main character to celebrate his birthday. These Lorax Rice Krispies Pops are super cute, and fairly simple to make with a Mustache chocolate mold and Runts banana candies.
