Deceptively Savory Desserts

The Rice Krispies Burger is a Playful Baking Project

Christmas might be a time for turkey dinners and candy cane desserts, so the Rice Krispies Burger is a recipe that might be pocketed for the summertime. Nevertheless, it is such a great idea, it was hard not to bring attention to it now. It essentially takes the classic and beloved Rice Krispies treat and brings it to the level of artistic cakes and more.

Conceived and baked by Michelle of My Kansas City Mommy, the Rice Krispies Burger is essentially achieved through the use of food coloring and creative toppings. In addition to this fun creation, Michelle also created the Rice Krispies Tangy Watermelon Treat, which uses strawberry-flavored marshmallows and watermelon juice powder to achieve the pink coloring of the dessert.
