We got our first snowfall a couple of weeks ago. It was just a dusting of maybe a half inch, but my daughter insisted on getting all of her snow gear on and heading outside to play in the snow. 







Luckily her dad bundled up and joined her because even though I love Christmas and the holiday season, I have never been a big fan of the cold. In fact, if we could just have a couple days of snow right around Christmas day each year and that was it, I would be a happy camper for the rest of winter.







The how-to for these Snowman Pull-Apart Rice Krispies Treats that I am sharing with you all today is definitely more my speed when it comes to wintertime and snow. 







I mean, how can you possibly go wrong with a cute edible snowman the whole family can enjoy? And bonus points since you get to stay inside warm and cozy to make this kind of snowman... ;)

I always get excited when I see the calendar flip over to October each fall because I know that means that the month of all things Halloween has finally arrived. Ever since I was a kid, Halloween has always been one of my favorite holidays. 






I was fortunate to have been blessed with a very crafty & creative mama who always made my sister & I the best Halloween costumes each year for trick or treat. My grandparents hosted a big family costume party each October complete with games (bobbing for apples, anyone? ;) ), costumes, haunted decor, and of course spooky dishes and treats






My parents took over hosting the Halloween costume party about 10 years ago, and I am always trying to come up with new boo-licious treats to bring to the party. This year I will be whipping up a 100% edible haunted graveyard using one of everyone's favorite classic treats- Kelloggs® Rice Krispies® treats! 






Classic Kelloggs® Rice Krispies® treats forms the base for this hauntingly tasty sweet treat. I simply topped them with chocolate frosting and chocolate sandwich cookie crumbs, and then employed my 4 1/2 year old daughter to help me go crazy making our haunted graveyard come to life (or should I say come to death?). 






We made tombstones from graham crackers, "planted" a few candy pumpkins, and liberally applied ghost-shaped sprinkles all over. I mean, what's a haunted graveyard without the ghosts, right? ;)

The Easter Bunny is going to be making his rounds a little earlier this year than normal, but we are ready for him in our house. The soon-to-be treat filled baskets are ready to be assembled. Extra eggs have already been procured from the local farmers' market. And the Easter dinner menu is currently being planned as I type this. 




One part of our Easter menu that is already handled & planned out is the dessert. The youngest and I will be whipping up a batch of these super fun Easter Egg Hunt Rice Krispies Treats. :)





These bright and cheery Rice Krispies treats are inspired by one of our favorite things to do with Little Miss each spring- the city's annual Easter egg hunt at the local park. Kiddos from all over our hometown gather in excitement at the city park with baskets in hand. 




The egg hunt is sectioned off by age groups, and when the whistle is blown the kids go wild! They are all on the hunt for the handful of golden eggs in the field. Finding a golden egg means you get an extra special prize from the Easter bunny. We haven't snagged a golden egg yet, but I have a feeling this year is the year, folks. ;)





Golden egg or not, everyone gets to be a winner with these Easter Egg Hunt Rice Krispies® Treats...
