I know more back-to-school here today on the blog. So, I already shared a fun back-to-school craft and tips for making back-to-school planning easier. But I would be remiss if I didn’t showcase at least one back-to-school recipe idea here on the blog, as well.

Therefore, that is what today’s blog post is indeed all about. Come on, you all should know by now I like my sweet treats no matter what time of the year it is. So, I don’t need much of an excuse to give new and fun seasonally-themed recipes a try. Plus, I am a sucker for Rice Krispie Treats. I have made them for many occasions here. 

Therefore, it was high-time I made Rice Krispie Treats back to school style. I mean how could I not! I was shocked I hadn’t yet. So, it was most definitely time to remedy that situation.

Because Rice Krispie Treats make everything better!

I decided to make little Chalkboard Rice Krispie Treats. Ok, so I know that nowadays many schools don’t use chalkboards, but back-to-school will forever make me think of pencils, books, and chalkboards. Therefore, I couldn’t resist the chalkboard theme here.

Again, I used pre-made Rice Krispie Treats to start with for this one. But you can always make your own fresh if need be. From there, I decorated my Rice Krispie Treats with chocolate frosting colored with black food dye. Moreover, I used White Icing Gel to write on them to make the chalkboard letter effect with a white Good & Plenty Candy for the piece of chalk. I also added little red candy apple icings, but if you could always use red M&Ms, too.

These back-to-school Rice Krispie Treats are so easy to make. But also so fun to eat as a sweet treat to celebrate back-to-school.

Do you want to make them now, too?
