Interior Halloween Decorations

Easy Rice Krispie Halloween Treats
Everyone loves a good Rice Krispie treat! So, I say let's spice it up for the Holidays and add chocolate and sprinkles. My pantry ALWAYS has Wilton's candy melts in every color. I'm kinda obsessed.

Melt + Stir, Melt + Stir until completely melted. Dip your treat halfway into the melted candies. Place to set … [Read more...]
