Twelve Days of Christmas Cookies: Salted Caramel Rice Krispies Treats
DAY 9: Salted Caramel Rice Krispies Treats
Looking to take your Rice Krispies Treats to the next level? This recipe fits that bill perfectly. I adjusted the original recipe to use an entire box of Rice Krispies (since we don’t have any cereal eaters left at home), which makes them extra thick. The addition of salted caramel to the mix adds a rich delicious flavor.
After cutting into squares, you can decorate the tops with different colors of melted chocolate/candy coating, or add even more caramel goodness by drizzling with extra salted caramel.
I make my own Salted Caramel Sauce, but you could also use a prepared jar.

Twelve Days of Christmas Cookies: Chocolate Pudding Christmas M&M Cookies
DAY 8: Chocolate Pudding Christmas M&M Cookies
Dark chocolate cookies filled with milk chocolate m&m’s: always a crowd pleaser. And simple to make. Chocolate fudge pudding makes the dough especially rich and delicious.
I usually like to use the mini baking m&m’s; they do not bleed as much into the dough. But you can also change the flavor profile by trying one of the multitude of m&m’s flavors that are available at Christmas time.

Twelve Days of Christmas Cookies: Christmas Funfetti Pudding Cookies
DAY 7: Christmas Funfetti Pudding Cookies
Another experiment adding pudding mix to a cookie dough. This festive cookie has vanilla pudding added, along with white chocolate chips and Christmas sprinkles.
NOTE: Be cautious when baking with sprinkles. Some are made to hold their shape when baking, but some melt and dissolve when heated. Unfortunately, sprinkle makers do not always label them as such. If you are unsure, make a test cookie: Remove one scoop of dough from batter before stirring in the sprinkles. Mix about 1/2 tsp of sprinkles into that ball of dough and bake.
If I have extra sprinkles at the end of my baking, I always mark the container so that I know whether they can be baked or not.
