Sesame Street Rice Krispie Treats
Our delicious and easy Sesame Street Rice Krispie Treats feature the faces of Elmo, Oscar the Grouch, and Cookie Monster and will be the hit of your party.
Sometimes Nancy and I go into the planning of a party knowing exactly the way every food item, party favor, and party game is going to look like. Other times we struggle from the very beginning to the very end (thankfully that doesn’t happen often). And sometimes, like with our Sesame Street Party, one idea leads to another, and another, and another, and we end up with a cohesive party. Once we had done our Elmo Cupcakes, Cookie Monster Cupcakes, and Cookie Monster Cake, it wasn’t too far of a leap to come up with these adorable and easy-to-make Sesame Street Rice Krispie Treats. I’ve never met anyone who didn’t love a Rice Krispie Treat and these were a big hit at the party. We hope your party guests enjoy them as much as ours did.
How to Make the Rice Krispie Treat Mixture
Step 1: The base for our Sesame Street 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. For each character (Elmo, Cookie Monster, and Oscar the Grouch) you will need a separate 3 cup batch of Rice Krispie Treat mixture (3 Tbsp. Butter/3 Cups Marshmallows/3 Cups Cereal).
How to Color the Rice Krispie Treat Mixture
To tint the Rice Krispie Treat mixture, add the food coloring to the melted marshmallow mixture BEFORE you add the Rice Krispie Treats.
Step 2: For the Cookie Monster Rice Krispie Treat mixture we used 5 drops of Wilton Color Right Blue Food Coloring.
Step 3: For the Oscar the Grouch Rice Krispie Treat mixture we used 6 drops of Yellow food coloring and 3 drops of Blue food coloring.
Step 4: For the Elmo Rice Krispie Treat mixture we used 6 drops of Wilton Color Right Red Food Coloring.
Preparing the Rice Krispie Treats
Step 5: Let the mixture cool for 2-3 minutes and then pour the Rice Krispie Treat mixture onto a lightly buttered 8×8″ pan.
Step 6: Press the Rice Krispie mixture evenly into the pan and let cool for 5-10 minutes.
Step 7: Pop the sheet of Rice Krispie Treats out of the pan and cut it into six rectangular pieces.
How to Make Elmo Rice Krispie Treats
Step 8: To make the Elmo Face, start with two Wilton Bright White Candy Melts. We used a little bit of black icing on the back as “glue”. Press the candy melts, top side down into the top part of the Rice Krispie Treat.
Step 9: Add an orange Peanut M&M for Elmo’s nose.
Step 10: For Elmo’s mouth, cut one chocolate wafer from an Oreo in half and place it directly under Elmo’s M&M nose.
Step 11: Finally, use your Black icing to create two eyes in the center of the candy melts.
How to Make Cookie Monster Rice Krispie Treats
Step 12-13: To make the Cookie Monster Face, start with two Wilton Bright White Candy Melts. We used a little bit of black icing on the back as “glue”. Press the candy melts, top side down into the top part of the Rice Krispie Treat.
Step 14: For Cookie Monster’s mouth, cut a Mini Chips Ahoy cookie in half, place a small dot of black icing on the cut edge of the cookie and then place the cookie onto the Rice Krispie Treat.
Step 15: Finally, for Cookie Monster’s eyes, use the black icing to make some offset, “googly” eyeballs.
How to Make Oscar the Grouch Rice Krispie Treats
Step 16: Oscar the Grouch may be grumpy but he is also super adorable! For Oscar’s face, use the white candy melts for the eyes – top side down.
Step 17: Oscar’s mouth is half of an Oreo chocolate wafer.
Step 18: Use the black icing for Oscar’s eyeballs.
Step 19: Oscar’s unibrow is made with chocolate frosting. And you’ll need the tiniest bit of red icing for Oscar’s tongue.
