Circus Animal Rice Krispy Treats | Sprinkles For Breakfast

When I was a little kid I was obsessed with the Frosted Circus Animal Cookies.

You know – the pink and white ones with the sprinkles? Yeah, they were my JAM when I was little. Actually, they are still kind of my jam but I don’t allow myself to buy them anymore because I can eat the entire bag in one serving.

That’s why I find every excuse I can to put them in a new recipe! In the past I have made everything from Circus Animal Cookies to Circus Animal Cake to Circus Animal Doughnuts. And today. I am continuing the trend with these Circus Animal Rice Krispy Treats!

Rice Krispy Treats are great by themselves…everyone knows that. But adding the circus animal cookies takes them to the next level. Because you chop the cookies up before you mix them in, they create this amazing bite sized crunchy goodness throughout the entire treat. SO MUCH CRUNCHY GOODNESS. It is fantastic.

If you want to stick with these being super easy, you can skip the white chocolate dip and drizzle. I just thought something that tastes THIS amazing should look amazing too. If you do decide to go with the white chocolate decorations, here are a few tips for you.

DECORATING TIPS

  1. Make sure you use a sharp knife to cut your rice krispy treats into individual servings. This will make it easier to create nice even edges (which are much better for dipping).
  2. Make sure your rice krispy treats are super cold before you cut them into individual servings. Just like the sharp knife trick, this will help you get those even edges we are looking for.
  3. Dip your krispies before you add the drizzle. It is much easier to drizzle a dipped krisy than to dip a drizzled krispy.
  4. When you dip your krispy, make sure to shake off any excess chocolate and then scrape the bottom of the krispy on the edge of the bowl. This will ensure that you don’t get a bottom heavy pool of chocolate at the bottom of your krispy.
  5. If adding the extra Frosted Circus Animal Cookie on top, do so immediately after drizzling. This way the chocolate will act as glue to hold the cookie on your krispy. Then add your sprinkles.

Like I said, you don’t HAVE to get fancy with the dipping and drizzling. They are still very good without the white chocolate! I just think the added white chocolate makes them look SO GOOD.

Basically, if you can eat it, you can use luster dust on it! But here are my l favorite ways to use it:

- Royal Icing Cookies
- Fondant cakes
- Buttercream Cakes/Cupcakes (but buttercream must be cold when applied)
- Chocolate Covered anything (including cake pops)
- Splattered on brownies

Rose Gold, Gold and Black available @sweetsindeed.

My roommate hates glitter more than anything…but I can’t stop using it! Look how amazing our @sweetsindeed Edible Glitter Spray makes this cupcake look!

But I have agreed to only use glitter in my studio though. I feel like that is a fair compromise 🙌
