Confectionary Cereal Donuts

This Epic Rice Krispie Recipe Incorporates Krispy Kreme Glazed Donuts

This Rice Krispie recipe incorporates the classic cereal with an iconic glazed donut. From Amy at Oh, Bite it!, the Krispy Kreme Krispie Treats are Rice Krispie treats in a standard donut shape with chopped up donuts added in to the marshmallow mixture.

The sugary snack is likely very rich, but well worth trying if you are obsessed with Rice Krispie squares. For donut enthusiasts, this Rice Krispie recipe requires four plain Krispy Kreme donuts, but you could also use any of your favorite flavors instead. Amy used different sized cookie cutters to create the 'O' shape for the added cuteness factor, but you can customize yours with whatever shaped cookie cutters you have on hand (snowmen or Christmas trees are seasonally appropriate).
