    💭How to cut rice krispie treats into shapes?

    Rice Krispie treats are a classic dessert that is loved by both kids and adults alike. They are simple to make and can be easily customized to suit any occasion or holiday.

    If you want to add a little something extra to your next batch of Rice Krispie treats, try cutting them into shapes. You can use an assortment of cookie cutters to do this or you can use a sharp knife.

    • First, lightly grease the knife or cookie cutter with butter or cooking spray.
    • Then, press it into the Rice Krispie treat, being careful not to cut all the way through.
    • Gently remove the excess rice krispies and press the cutter down again.
    • Repeat this process until you have cut out all of the desired shapes.
    • Finally, enjoy your uniquely shaped Rice Krispie treats!

    💭Thanksgiving candy treats

    What would Thanksgiving be without some delicious candy treats? Whether you're snacking on turkey-shaped gummies or chocolate-covered pumpkin spice marshmallows, there's no doubt that candy plays a big role in making Thanksgiving special.

    Let's not forget about everyone's favorite candy corn! There are so many ways to use candy corn in fun recipes besides just enjoying a handful of them.

    And if you're feeling really ambitious, you can even try your hand at making homemade candy corn. So go ahead and indulge your sweet tooth this Thanksgiving – your taste buds will thank you!
