I have been scoping out different treat recipes to make for the holidays and these little Christmas trees are at the top of my list. Just look how cute they are! Plus, your kids or grandkids will have such fun putting them together. I like to add these rice Krispie trees to the landscape of my gingerbread house. These are the yummiest Christmas trees on the block!
