- Step 2: Unwrap your Rice Krispies treats. Leave some whole, and cut others into smaller square or rectangular pieces to create a variety of Lego block sizes. Once ready, frost each piece with a different color of the frosting you prepared.
- Step 3: Now it’s time to add the details! Place matching M&M's on the top or side edges of each frosted bar to mimic the studs on a Lego block. Press gently so they stick well.
- Step 4: Your Lego Krispie Treats are ready! Arrange them on a serving tray and watch your creations stack up like real Lego blocks. Serve and enjoy the fun, colorful treats!
👩🍳 Expert Tips
- Chill Before Cutting: Pop the Rice Krispies in the fridge for 10-15 minutes before cutting to get clean, sharp edges.
- Smooth Frosting Hack: Use an offset spatula or the back of a butter knife dipped in warm water to get a super smooth frosting finish.
- Stick with Precision: Dab a tiny bit of frosting on the back of each M&M to help it stick perfectly in place.
- Add Fun Details: Use edible markers to draw tiny Lego logos or designs on the frosting for an extra wow factor!
💭 FAQs
Yes, you can absolutely use candy coating instead of frosting! Melt colorful candy melts, dip the Rice Krispies in them, and let them set for a smooth, shiny finish that holds the M&Ms perfectly.
Of course! Skittles, gummy candies, or even small marshmallows can work as fun alternatives.
Yes! You can make them a day in advance and store them in an airtight container to keep them fresh.
Absolutely! Homemade Rice Krispies work just as well and give you more control over the flavor and texture.
