Turtle Rice Krispie Treats

Easter is just around the corner and I wanted to whip up some quick and delish treats for the kiddos. This is in no way healthy, sugar free, gluten free, (well maybe), low carb or sustainable in any way shape or form. But they are flippin delish and they travel well.

My kiddos went nuts for these! 1.)  because their delicious. And  2.) Because it’s not beet hummus. Just sayin..

Let’s get started.
