Rice Krispie Treats are one of our favorite go-to party desserts – they are so easy to make and we have never met anyone who didn’t love them.  So these Elmo Rice Krispie Treats were first on the list when we were planning our Sesame Street party.  Cute (and delicious too!), they will definitely be a hit at your Elmo Party or Sesame Street Birthday Party.

How to Make the Rice Krispie Treat Mixture

Step 1:  The base for our Elmo Rice Krispie Treats is our Best Ever Rice Krispie Treat Recipe which we have adjusted and perfected over the years until it is now absolutely the best Rice Krispie Treat recipe we have ever tasted.  You can find all the directions you’ll need to make these delicious treats right here.  You will need a 3 cup batch of Rice Krispie Treat mixture (3 Tbsp. Butter/3 Cups Marshmallows/3 Cups Cereal).

Step 2: Add the red food coloring to the Marshmallow mixture BEFORE you add the Rice Krispie Cereal.  We used 6 drops of Wilton Color Right Red Food Coloring.
Step 3: Let the mixture cool for 2-3 minutes and then pour the Rice Krispie Treat mixture onto a lightly buttered 8×8″ pan.
Step 4: Press the Rice Krispie mixture evenly into the pan and let cool for 5-10 minutes.
Step 5: Pop the sheet of Rice Krispie Treats out of the pan and cut it into six rectangular pieces.

How to Create the Elmo Face

Step 7:  To make the Elmo Face, start with two Wilton Bright White Candy Melts.  We used a little bit of black icing on the back as “glue”.  Press the candy melts, top side down into the top part of the Rice Krispie Treat.
Step 8:  Add an orange Peanut M&M for Elmo’s nose.
Step 9:  For Elmo’s mouth, cut one chocolate wafer from an Oreo in half and place it directly under Elmo’s M&M nose.
Step 10:  Finally, use your Black icing to create two eyes on the candy melts.
