Neapolitan Rice Krispie Treats - My Frugal Adventures

Are these fun or what? We love Neapolitan treats in our house because it is the easiest way to get everyone to agree. My little girl loves vanilla and my big girl would choose strawberry and Mommy is all about the chocolate…

So Neapolitan is the easiest way for us to all get what we want in one dessert. Here is a little twist on a traditional Rice Krispie treat that your children will love.

This recipe makes a large batch of Krispies so you can always reduce the quantity as needed. You will be making (3) batches total of Rice Krispies treats but don’t worry as this goes so quickly.

The first is the plain Krispies and the second is the strawberry layer and then finally the chocolate layer.

For this recipe I suggested strawberry Jell-o because that is the most readily available ingredient. An alternative to that would be the strawberry marshmallow fluff that is available at World Market instead of Jello and marshmallows. I posted a picture on Instagram of what it looks like. The marshmallow fluff gives a gooier Rice Krispie treat that is just delicious.
