There is nothing more to these sweets than making a batch of Rice Krispy treats, letting it cool slightly, and topping it with cut up or squished up candy.

Not only are these fun for parties or special occasions, they’re also a good project for rainy days with kids of basically any age. With a lot of direction, but 2-year-old was able to help and my 7-year-old could almost make these himself.

These also make a really fun egg and gluten-free treat that can help kids with allergies to feel included. You can also swap in vegan butter to make these dairy-free. Obviously, check your candy and marshmallow labels if allergies are part of the equation.

You'll need:

3 Tbsp butter
6 cups Rice Krispies
10 oz large marshmallows or 5 cups mini marshmallows

Melt the butter in a large saucepan. Add the marshmallows and melt, stirring frequently. When the marshmallows have mostly lost their shape, add Rice Krispies and stir to coat.

Let cool until the mixture can be handled.

Fruit rollups
Large Swedish fish
Hi-Chew candies, Mike n’ Ikes, gummy bears, gummy worms or any other candy you can cut up into tiny pieces
Starburst
Orange sprinkles (either sanding sugar or sugar pearls, but not jimmies)

Tools:

Water
Sharp knife
Pizza cutter

To assemble:

For the rolls: Cut up some Hi-Chews or Mike ‘n Ikes into small bits. Cut the fruit rollup into 1-inch strips. With wet hands, roll a small handful of the Rice Krispy mixture into a ball. Wrap the fruit rollup strips around the outside and squish the top and bottom of the bottom of the circle down a bit. Take a few pieces of the cut up candies and squish them into the Rice Krispies at the top of the roll.

For the pieces: Unroll a fruit roll and cut into 1/2 inch strips with the pizza cutter. With wet hands, roll a small handful cereal mixture into a ball and squish into more of a rectangle. Top with a Swedish Fish and wrap a strip of fruit roll around the whole Swedish fish/cereal combo. Secure the ends of the fruit roll strip with a few drops of water.

For the roe pieces (not pictured): Unroll a fruit roll and cut into 1-inch strips. With wet hands, roll a small handful cereal mixture into a ball and squish into more of a rectangle. Wrap a strip of fruit roll around the outside of the cereal mixture and secure the ends of the strip with a few drips of water. Let dry for a few minutes. Pick up the entire piece and dip the top into 2-3 Tbsp of orange sanding sugar OR top with orange sugar pearls.
