It rained on Monday. A lot. Like, total downpour all day. Which is funny since the weather forecast had been 72 and sunny.
It was pouring rain when I went to school pick-up. I was being all stealth and smart and got there 20 minutes early…to no parking. Guess I wasn’t the only one who thought to get there early. Good thing I wore a raincoat and my ruby red rainboots, just in case!
All the wetness was made worth it though when Jordan emerged from her classroom. I handed her a raincoat and she greeted me with:
“Wow mom it’s been raining so much today! It’s totally hoaring!”
Me: “Um, what is it doing honey?”
Her: “It’s hoaring, really hard.”
Me, a 12-year old boy suddenly taking over my personality: “Honey, go tell [my friend] Shannon what the rain is doing.” (Snicker, snicker)
And she did. And then she repeated herself all the way to the car. A little bit of sunshine at the end of a rainy day.
Besides hoaring, a fun thing to do on a rainy day would be to have your kids help you make these pops.
Remember the Soccer Crispy Treats I posted yesterday? Cutting circles out of the crispy treats leaves a lot of leftover. Here is what to do with that leftover goodness: mash them into balls, put ‘em on a stick and dip them in chocolate. These would be great for Halloween or Christmas, just change up the sprinkles accordingly (if only I’d thought of that while I was making them…) Super easy and the kids love them.
And you know what else all this rain means? That it’s almost Christmas! So you might need some Christmas cookies. You’re in luck, since this is part of the 12 Weeks of Christmas Cookies. Check out the blog hop below for more great recipes!
I’m going to go wash my mind out with soap now, thankyouverymuch.

Hi there! I’m Dorothy, the crazy gal behind the blog. If you didn’t already know, I’m crazy for crust…and cookies…and brownies…and pretty much
anything with sugar.
So happy to have found your site, these are ADORABLE! So festive to have sitting out on the table while entertaining this holiday season! Thanks so much for sharing!
How fun! Love these and so will my kids. Love your daughter’s description.
Yum, these look great! I love rice crispy treats. They always bring my back to my childhood.
I would have laughed, too. Kids say the funniest things! The crispy treat pops look tasty. Though I must admit, I get so frustrated working with the sticky mess!
Great idea!! I love rice crispy treats. I love the funny things that kids say!!
@Jennifer @ Mother Thyme
Thanks for stopping by!
Thank you! That’s sweet of you to say.
@Geni
They are kid and adult pleasers for sure! Thanks for reading.
@BreAna
Thanks! My daughter comes up with some doosies, that’s for sure!
I really like the look of these. After making cake pops twice recently, I swore I’d never make them again, but these look like a more manageable version
If those don’t bring out the kid in you, nothing will! Even I got all bouncy and excited when I saw ‘crispy treat pops’! These are great!
These would be great for so many get togethers!
@Karis’ Kitchen
I know what you mean! These were SO much easier. They are so sticky they tend to squish together really easy. Thanks for your comment!
@Kita
Thanks! Crispy treats always make me feel like a kid again.
Fun treats.
You really like rice krispies! they look really easy to make and a fun thing to do and decorate!
That’s hysterical. I love it when my kids do that! (I about died when my daughter was singing twinkle twinkle and she sang “like a hymen in the sky.”) =o)
LOVE your rice crispy treats on a stick! Genius!!!
Kids say the funniest things!
Love these treats! So yummy looking
