TREATS FOR TOYS

For every original photo of a Rice Krispies treat uploaded to RiceKrispies.ca , Kelloggs' will make a donation of $20 to The Salvation Army. The Salvation Army will use this donation to buy toys for children in need across Canada this holiday season. Share your photo on Instagram, Facebook, or Twitter using the hashtag #treatsfortoys before December 24th.  
Full rules and regulations can be found here.

Every season we love to find ways of giving our time, talent, and treasure to people in our community who need it most.  Philanthropy is a character trait I wanted to instil in my girl while she was young.  Donating new and gently used clothing, giving to local food banks, and volunteering at community services are just a few ways we like to give back.  

Kellogg's Canada has set the #Treatsfortoys campaign in motion again, and it's a great way to get your family involved in the the fun of giving.  My girl wanted to make a train with our Rice Krispie treats, but it ended up looking more like a truck. She was pleased with the result and we ate it anyway! We uploaded a photo of our tasty creation to support the Salvation Army toy drive.

What I used:

• Kellogg's Rice Krispie treat original recipe doubled. 
• Various sized cookies, candies, licorice, pre-made icing tubes with attachable tips. 

What I did:

• Press the prepared treat mixture firmly into a parchment lined 9 x 13 cake pan.
• When it's set, cut: 
• 2 big rectangles (approximately 3 x 4 inches), stack them with icing in between to create the trailer.
• 1 square (2 x 2), to start assembling the cab.
• 2 or 3 smaller rectangles for stacking on the square to shape the cab of the truck.
• One 2 inch circle (cut the bottom edge off so it will sit flat), place it on the very front of the cab.
• Decorate with icing, cookies and treats.
• Snap a picture and upload to Treats For Toys at ricekrispies.ca/holiday
