Rice Krispie Treat Christmas Lights
Whenever I think of hanging Christmas lights,
my thoughts always turn to Chevy Chase
and National Lampoon's Christmas Vacation.
Hilarious.
Cousin Eddie....we all love Cousin Eddie.
To honor the annual tradition that is watching
this side splitting, hilarious folly, I decided to
make some Rice Krispie Christmas Lights.
I was inspired by an idea seen HERE!
You can either shape your own lights or I used
a Wilton Christmas light candy mold I bought earlier
this season. The how-to is super simple; just make your
marshie treats the usual way and split the melted marshie
mixture into separate bowls and add food coloring to make
the different colored lights. Add your krispies and
then mold into a sassy Christmas light shape!
then mold into a sassy Christmas light shape!
I used a tootsie roll softened in the microwave for a few seconds and shaped around the bottom for the base of the light.
And last but not least...string up your lights with
a little help from some Twizzlers. YUM!

Those are so adorable!! Christmas lights always make me think of that movie too. So to staple guns and ladders. :)
Trish - they are so cute! I know my 3 year old would love them. I am adding them to my holiday bake list!
What an easy fun idea! Going to make these this weekend! Thanks Sis!
These are fabulously cute!!! ;0)
Christmas Vacation is one of my daughter's favourite Christmas movies and her two little girls and their cousin would love these little lights! Their Nana (me) would enjoy them too and she loves your platter they are displayed on :)
These are fantastic, i really love how these turned out, I might use your idea to make these for a friend of mine with small kids they would love this!
Love these! Just posted a link on Edible Crafts. I always think of the sparking outlet on A Christmas Story.
Oh my gosh, wouldn't these be adorable on a holiday buffet? These have Isabelle's two favorite food groups: marshmallows and tootsie rolls!
Hugs,
Lisa
These rock! love it. My girls would love it too!
those are awesome!!! and we love that movie too! definitely a family tradition!
Trisha, these are so cute! I was wondering what the bottom of the lights were but didn't really care since I know chocolate when I see it. LOL
If I were to even make rice krispie squares, I'd have to eat them all since hubby doesn't like them - I'll just enjoy yours and think of the calories I'm saving.
