This Popsicle Rice Krispies Treats recipe is the perfect summer treat that won’t melt in your hand!

We recently had a heat wave here last week, warnings from Environment Canada and all.

My kids love popsicles but during a heat wave, they aren’t the smartest choice.

While they are a great cool treat on a hot day, the kids will likely be a sticky mess having more on them than they consume.

So, these cute Popsicle Rice Krispies Treats are a fun alternative.

Celebrate the summer with the kids and make this fun no-bake Popsicle Rice Krispies Treats recipe.

They’d also make a delicious snack for your next pool party too!

What You Will Need:

6 rice cereal treats
2 paper straws
¼ cup butter softened
1 cup confectioners’ sugar
1 tbsp cocoa powder
Brown gel food colouring
1-2 tbsp milk
1-2 tbsp sprinkles

Yields: Half a dozen decorated rice cereal treats.

How To Make Popsicle Rice Krispies Treats

Follow along with the step-by-step process photos and then print out the full recipe and instructions below!

Gather all your ingredients and supplies to make your Popsicle Rice Krispies Treats.

Cut the straws into thirds.

Insert one straw at the bottom of each rice cereal treat.

Using an electric mixer, beat together butter, confectioners’ sugar, cocoa powder and milk.

Once your buttercream starts to form (ie.: is smooth and forms semi-stiff peaks), add some brown gel food colouring to make the colour richer.

Mix until completely combined.

Scoop your buttercream into a piping bag with Wilton frosting tip #8 attached.

Frost the top of each rice cereal treat, covering it almost in its entirety: pipe out the bottom so that it looks like it’s “dripping.” You can even add some “drops” if you’d like!

Use an offset spatula to smooth out the chocolate buttercream.

Sprinkle each cereal treat, pressing down gently to ensure the sprinkles don’t fall off.

Serve and enjoy!

If using for a party, you can create a cute Popsicle Rice Krispies Treats stand.

Decorate a styrofoam block and then stick the popsicle sticks into it to have them standing up!
