As I was taking inventory of things in my kitchen and trying organize things I noticed we had a lot of marshmallows and not wanting to try a place for all of them, which means find a way to use them.
As I thought about something that I could make easy and quick I noticed I had three boxes of Rice Krispies. I thought the kids would have fun with making them so I went with Rice Krispies treats. I also have a ton of chocolate chips so we mixed in some mini chips for a yummy twist. After it cooled instead of cutting squares I thought the boys would have fun cutting out Christmas treats with some Christmas cookie cutters we have. So I cut two bigger squares for them they could have fun and cut their own by themselves.
With the boys knowing what all the cookie cutters were they were very vocal on which ones they wanted. The Christmas tree had a little bit of an issue to it. Thankfully we had two of them and Thomas wanted the bigger one and Sup wanted the "baby one" so we were able to bypass an argument/crying scene.
Sup was barely able to wait until the piece was cut out until he put it in his mouth. Both the boys said they had a lot of fun and "these are so yummy!" or "nummy" ;)
As I was cleaning up and putting away the ones we just into squares I turn and the boys have decided to dissect what was left of their personal squares. I am not sure what happened but apparently this was very exciting too. Thankfully it was a small amount and it wasn't too sticky messy. For obvious reasons these dissected piece that according to Thomas were "attacked by decepticons" were not saved ;)
