Did you see the new Elf on the Shelf Cereal? We’ll show you show to use this cereal to put a fun “ELF” spin on the traditional classic dessert, Rice Krispies Treats.

Did you see the brand new cereal out from Kellogg’s this holiday season? Yep, you can now buy Kellogg’s Elf on the Shelf Sugar Cookie Cereal with Marshmallows. And while I do try to limit my kids’ intake of sugar-laden cereal for breakfast, I’m all for tasty treats other times of day. We took our classic Rice Krispies Treat recipe and swapped out the Rice Krispies for the Elf on the Shelf cereal!

The result is a festive, fun dessert that even an elf will love! Whip up a batch of these treats – perfect for the elf to leave or for the kids to enjoy in the elf’s company. Thanks to the holiday colors, this would also be a great dessert idea for Christmas parties and other seasonal get-togethers.
