It doesn’t have to be elaborate, just something simple that can become a cherished memory.

We are seeing a lot of snowmen popping up this wintry season. While we love to create snowmen out of snow outside, here’s a yummy Rice Krispies Snowman Treat we’re making as we come inside from the cold.

Your kids will be dog-gone delighted with this fun after school snack!
