Circus Cookie Krispie Treats Are An Easy Krispie Treat Recipe
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….

I’ve been out of the US for 10 years now and Circus Animals are one of the things that I can’t get here that I have INTENSE cravings for every once in a while. So, thanks for that 😛
Shelly you just combined my favorites in one!!! Seriously I love RKTreats of any kind and have been pondering how to doctor them up with something other than PB/chocolate and you just answered my cravings that I didnt know I had! I love circus animals. That frosted exterior is the best. And then the white choc + sprinkles you put on these – I need. Pinned!
