I was inspired to make these Krispie Treats by a fellow food blogger.

One of my favorite pictures of Krispie Treats are of Trix Krispies that are made by Kim at Cravings of a Lunatic.

The pictures of Kim’s Trix Krispies are so pretty and look downright magical.

It was such a good idea to use a colorful cereal to make Krispie Treats that I just had to make some myself.

The two colorful cereals that just happened to jump right off the shelf and into my grocery cart were Captain Crunch and Froot Loops.
