With just a few extra ingredients make regular Krispie treats into cute Monsters Inc. treats.
I didn’t realize how much my kids loved Rice Krispie treats until I posted my Baseball Mom Essentials and went through 2 boxes in a week. Since then I’ve had the pantry stocked with them. So when it came time to decide favors for my Statham’s Monsters University Party I knew some form of Rice Krispies were going to be a necessity.
Like I mentioned when I did Rohrl’s Star Wars Party in April I don’t like sending home goodie bags packed with candy and cheap toys; kids are already hyped up from the party and cake. They don’t need anymore sugar to help with that crash in a few hours. So when I am planning I try to plan a toy kids can play with for longer than a few hours and a small treat that both kids and parents will enjoy.
For the Monsters University Party I decided on Monsters Play Dough (coming soon) and these Monsters Rice Krispie Treats. And I have to say having had both the store bought and homemade in the last few weeks; homemade is WAY better! The nice thing with these treats is they take less than 5 minutes to make and are great for both small and large groups.
