This holiday season, it’s time to elevate your dessert game with a festive twist on a classic favorite: Holiday Rice Krispies! These delightful treats bring a cheerful crunch to your celebrations, combining the nostalgic goodness of Rice Krispies with vibrant holiday colors and flavors. They’re not just a treat; they’re a show-stopping centerpiece that’s super easy to whip up!
One of my favorite things to do during the Holiday season is get my girlfriends together for a festive girls night! It can be overwhelming to set up a whole dinner party spread so to keep things stress-free, I opted to make my favorite holiday dessert, Holiday Rice Krispies and pair them with Bread & Butter Pinot Noir. The Rice Krispies come together so quickly with only 6 ingredients that you probably already have in your pantry. While the Rice Krispies were cooling, I decided to create a simple & quick tablescape to help everything come together with a couple of decor items I had sitting around my house. I started by laying out my favorite table runner to set the scene. I wanted it to have a cozy and inviting vibe for my guests so I incorporated some green candlesticks, cute little winter trees, and finished everything off with some festive greenery. Lastly, I poured everyone a glass of Bread & Butter Pinot Noir to complete the evening! Hosting doesn’t have to be complicated—sometimes, the simplest gatherings are the most memorable.
