💭 FAQs
To keep your Rudolph Rice Crispy Treats fresh, store them in an airtight container at room temperature for up to three days. Avoid refrigerating, as this can make them overly hard.
Yes, you can prepare homemade rice crispy treats instead of using pre-packaged ones. Ensure they are fully cooled and cut into uniform rectangles before decorating.
If you don't have a piping bag, you can use a small plastic sandwich bag. Fill it with melted chocolate, snip a tiny corner off, and pipe as needed.
If red M&M's aren't available for the nose, consider using red jelly beans or small red gumdrops. For the eyes, mini marshmallows with a dot of chocolate in the center can serve as a substitute for edible eyes.
