Circus Cookie Krispie Treats are SO easy.. basically like frosted animal crackers inside a rice krispie treat! It’s a sprinkle filled, no bake dessert that everyone will love!
AND if you love Frosted Circus Cookies you should DEFINITELY try my Carnival Cookies!
Actually this recipe was sent to me from an awesome reader named Nicole. I love it when you guys send me ideas…because sometimes my brain gets fried. Coming up with new sweet treat ideas occasionally overloads my brain!
And since we’re all sugar friends here, we’re all working for the same goal. These treats were just too easy to pass up, and absolutely adorable too!
Grab some of those Frosted Animal cookies…you know, the ones that are impossible to stop eating…
And chop them up.
Then make your usual krispie treats, going a little heavier on the marshmallow.
Mix in the cookies…
And stir it all together.
The frosting might melt off the cookies a bit, turning your krispies pink. This is completely ok.
Press that into a greased pan…
Then melt some white chocolate and spread that all over the top…
It doesn’t have to be pretty.
Because you’re covering it in SPRANKLES….
