Treat. Eat. Compete. is a limited-edition game set from [Rice Krispies](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/365-days-of-love-and-support-kit) Treats and Ludacris that turns family-favorite cereal bars into a fun activity for people of all ages. This exclusive set includes everything from custom score sheets and markers to instruction cards, plus a Ludacris-inspired bucket hat winner crown and a pack of Rice Krispies Treats that families can replenish for the next time they play.

There's a game for every type of player in this set, with activities like Wrapper Rhymes and [Unicorn Duel](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/unicorn-crispy-bar) to choose from. With Treat Mitts, players are tasked with putting on a pair of oven mitts and seeing how fast they can peel back the wrapper to get to the snack bar inside.
