I was really happy with the way my Candy Cane Hot Chocolate Rice Krispie Treats came out with the Candy Cane Kisses, so I employed the same method. I used Cocoa Krispies and hot chocolate in the mix.
I just chopped up the Raspberry Hugs into small pieces with a knife. I might have eaten a few pre-cut ones.
I made some of the Rice Krispie Treats into bars and decorated them with Wilton's red and white candy melt and sprinkled them with some cute little heart sprinkles I found in the $1 bins at Target.
But I also wanted to create something a little more festive to Valentine's Day coming up. I pulled out my Wilton's 3 inch heart cookie cutter and cut some of the treats into heart shapes.
And put them on some striped paper straws and decorated them with some red and white candy melt also. I used Wilton's #5 tip to pipe in the outline and fill in, then I used a #2 tip to write the words.
This is great for a party at your kids school or just for your loved ones at home. A little something extra special is always nice to receive.

ReplyDeleteThanks. I was just looking at your Maple Glazed French Toast Donuts. Those look amazing.
DeleteSo pretty and fun! When I was at the craft store, I saw that Wilton had some Raspberry flavored Chocolate Candy Melts. The added Raspberry would put this over the TOP! And I love the little milk jugs!
