I am a huge fan of acorns and anything acorn shaped. I scored an Ice Age Jello Jigglers mold that included an acorn at the thrift store recently and was thinking about all the materials (and food) I could possibly mold with it. It occurred to me I could make rice krispies treats with it.

It was really easy. I like cinnamon and so I thought I’d make the rice krispy mixture darker by adding a bit of cinnamon. I bet using cocoa krispies would work too.

I scooped up a bit of the original mixture and a bit of the darker and simply pressed it into the mold I sprayed with cooking spray. They popped right out.

While working the rice crispy mixture would harden a bit so I simply popped it back in the microwave to soften it back up.
