Candy Cane Rice Krispie Treats

Rice Krispies are one of my favourite cereals. Cereal is pretty much one of my favourite foods, and I eat it practically every day. I go through phases with other cereals, but one that I always love is Rice Krispies. I don't know why, they're just so darn tasty.

As much as I love them, I don't actually make Rice Krispie Squares that often. I always think that they're more complicated than they are to make, when really, they're easy! There are like, 3 ingredients. Can't get much easier than that, can it?

Okay, so these Rice Krispie treats actually have four ingredients. Sorry if that's a bit overwhelming. But   I promise, the end result is totally worth it. They're really cute and festive, perfect for Christmas. I wonder is Santa likes Rice Krispie Treats...
