You can use red and green for a traditional Christmas color scheme, or get creative and use other colors like blue and white for a winter wonderland theme. You can also add in some peppermint extract to the melted marshmallows for a delicious minty flavor.
Decorating Your Christmas Rice Krispies Treats
Once your treats have cooled and been cut into squares, it's time to add some holiday decorations. You can use icing or melted chocolate to create festive designs on top of the treats.
