Mickey Rice Krispies Treats
Here at Ruffles and Rain Boots, we are a little intense about our after school snacks lately. Because school has been a bit stressful, but making an elaborate snack seems to help diffuse some of the tension. Also, it’s just a great way to reconnect over something fun. So, when the kiddo asked if we could make Mickey Rice Krispies treats a couple of days ago, I was all in.

Tips to Make Mickey Treats
- Start by getting a Mickey cookie cutter like this set here. There’s just too much fun you can have with a handful of different sized Mickey cookie cutters. Cookies. Fondant. Rice Krispies…so many fun ideas.
- I love these Mickey treats, but the best part? That candy coating. HA! So, definitely plan on getting a big bag of mini M&M candies to get your candy experience on.
- Oh, and the kiddo decided that these needed to be treats on a stick–which is what led us to the dipping in chocolate and then the M&M’s. But that turned out to be a great idea. So, if you want to do the same, grab some food-grade popsicle sticks here.

Ingredients
- 6 Cups Rice Krispies Cereal
- 3 Tablespoons Butter
- 48 Regular Marshmallows
- 12 oz Melting Chocolate
- 10 oz. Bag Mini M&M’s

- Remove the marshmallow mixture from the stove and add the Rice Krispies cereal. Stir the mixture until fully coated.

- With the cookie cutter, cut out 6-8 Mickey head shapes from the treats in the baking dish. Place them on a plate and refrigerate for 10 minutes or so until they harden.
- Remove the Mickey treats from the refrigerator and carefully press a popsicle stick through the bottom.
- Melt the melting chocolate using the directions on the package.
- Dip each Mickey Rice Krispie treat in the melted chocolate, covering each completely.
- Place the mini M&M’s on a plate in a thick layer, then dip each chocolate covered Mickey treat into the M&M's to coat them completely.
- Drizzle extra melted chocolate over the M&M's then allow them to rest in the fridge for about 5 minutes for the chocolate harden and enjoy!
