Have you gotten any snow where you are? Here in Southern Maryland, we are getting some right now. Those southernly storms really dump it on us because at first they said we weren’t getting anything, and then they said a dusting and now we are up to 4-8″ they’re calling for! Crazy, right?

Even thought it’s cold outside, I am warm inside and making sweet treats for my family. This is the time of the year that we look for fun indoor activities for the family and a time when I spend decluttering and cleaning my house! I also love to wrap Christmas presents when its snowing and bake delicious winter treats.

These snowman Rice Krispie treats are delicious, perfect for the cooler weather and fun to make and enjoy. Your kiddos will love to help you make these! I love the little ear muffs ;). 

See the full tutorial and make these for your family and friends – I promise they’ll love them! Then, while you’re at it, make these delicious Grinch Cookies!  What are your favorite things to make in the Christmas season?
