Santa Claus Rice Krispie Treats
These Santa Claus Rice Krispie Treats are a festive, delicious, and easy-to-make Holiday dessert that will wow both your family and your Christmas Party guests.
Christmas isn’t Christmas without Rice Krispie Treats. We try to come up with something new every year. We’ve made Christmas Wreaths, Christmas Mickey Mouse Ears, Christmas Bites and Candy Canes. Fun and colorful, and who doesn’t love homemade Rice Krispie Treats. This year we are proud to show off our newest Holiday creation … Santa Claus Rice Krispie Treats. They are a fun dessert to bring to a Christmas Party or to have as a special snack on a Holiday Family movie night.
How to Make the Rice Krispie Mixture
Step 1: The base for our Bewitched Rice Krispie Treats is our Best Ever Rice Krispie Treat Recipe which we have adjusted and perfected over the years until it is now absolutely the best Rice Krispie Treat recipe we have ever tasted. You can find all the directions you’ll need to make these delicious treats right here.
How to Color the Rice Krispie Mixture
Step 2: You need to make three batches of Rice Krispie Treat mixture, one black, and two red. You will add the food coloring to the melted marshmallow mixture BEFORE adding the Rice Krispie Cereal. We use Wilton Color Right Food Coloring. It creates very vibrant colors without having to use a lot of food coloring. Here are the Food Coloring Formulas we used:
Black Layer (for the Santa Belt)
3 Cups of Rice Krispie Treat mixture (3 Tbsp. Butter/3 Cups Marshmallows/3 Cups Cereal)
5 Drops of Black Food Coloring
2 Drops of Blue Food Coloring
2 Drops of Red Food Coloring
Red Layer (bottom section of Santa Coat)
3 Cups of Rice Krispie Treat mixture (3 Tbsp. Butter/3 Cups Marshmallows/3 Cups Cereal)
5 Drops of Crimson Food Coloring
2 Drop of Red Food Coloring
Red Layer (top section of Santa Coat)
6 Cups of Rice Krispie Treat mixture (6 Tbsp. Butter/6 Cups Marshmallows/6 Cups Cereal)
10 Drops of Crimson Food Coloring
4 Drop of Red Food Coloring
Assembly Instructions
Step 3: Pour the first batch of the Rice Krispie Treat mixture into a lightly buttered large cookie sheet. Press down the mixture into the cookie sheet. It should be about 6″ wide. The height should be about 1″. Make the 3 cup batch of red Rice Krispie Treat mixture. Pour into the cookie sheet. This strip should be the same dimensions as the black strip.
Step 4: And finally repeat the process with the second 6 cup batch of red Rice Krispie Treat mixture. This strip should be the same width and length as the first two but should be twice as high. Allow the three strips to cool for 10-15 minutes.
Step 5: Remove the Black and Red Rice Krispie Treat strips from the cookie sheet and stack them. The short red strip on the bottom, black in the middle and the taller red on the top.
Step 6: Slice the Rice Krispie Treat loaf into 1″ slices.
Step 7: Cut the slice in half.
Step 8: We trimmed the edges a bit so we had an even rectangle.
Step 9: We used Wilton Decorating Icing to make the Santa Belt buckle.
Step 10: That’s all there is to it to making these adorable Santa Claus Rice Krispie Treats. Allow them to cool completely before storing them in an airtight container.
