Ube Rice Krispie Treats

Another Gluten Free Dessert!

I don’t make Rice Krispie Treats often, but whenever I do, I’m reminded of how delicious they are despite their simplicity. They’re not fancy, but they taste amazing!

The addition of 1 tsp. of Ube flavoring turns this dessert into something SENSATIONAL.

The added flavor is subtle, with notes of coconut and vanilla.

But the strong purple color is super fun and great for holidays like Valentine’s Day, Mardi Gras, Easter, and Halloween.

Unlike food coloring, the liquid Ube didn’t stain my hands.

Caramel-Graham-Peanut Butter Ghosts

Ingredients:

  • 1 (9-cracker) sleeve of graham crackers
  • 24 unwrapped Fun Size TWIX® (you’ll need to buy two bags due to shrinkflation because only 19 bars are included in the 10.83 oz bag – enjoy the extras later)
  • 3/4 cup peanut butter
  • 1/3 cup confectioners sugar
  • 1 (16 oz.) container vanilla frosting – any brand is okay
  • 16 Chocolate Chips (cut in half)
  • Wax paper
  • Sheet pan
  • Food processor

Directions:

  1. In a food processor pulse 10 graham crackers
  2. Add Twix and pulse until finely ground
  3. Add the peanut butter and confectioner sugar and blend together.
  4. Divide the mixture into 16 pieces. If too sticky, add extra confectioner sugar as necessary. Shape each piece into a ghost. Place on wax paper covered sheet pan.
  5. Chill for 30 minutes
  6. Heat frosting in the microwave for approximately 10-20 seconds until thin. Spoon heated frosting over the ghosts
