Can you melt butter? Can you use a wooden spoon and stir in Rice Krispies?

If so, these are the easiest Easter treat you’ll ever make. Heck, get the kids involved and let them do the stirring 😉

Over the years I have found that I like to impress my kids. I mean, what Dad doesn’t? So when it comes to cooking some say I may “take the easy road out”. But, I am all about creating the memories for my children and enjoy spending time with them. If that means taking and cutting corners to come up with a tremendous end result, hey I’m all for it! Rice Krispies Treats are one of those moments that I feel the love without all the huss and fuss that come with cooking. In just a few minutes the kiddos are enjoying a super cool snack and on that day I may {or may not!} win Dad of the Year Award….hey, I try!
