Vegan Orange Creamsicle Rice Krispie Treats
If there is one concept that never gets old that I still love today. It’s marshmallow treats!! Surprisingly we never had them in our home growing up, perhaps that’s why I’m enamored with them today. This concept to me is like a blank canvas, which I love. The options are endless with flavors and you can get as fancy or practical as you like and bottom line..
It’s just so easy!! It takes minutes, uses minimal ingredients, no bake, no fuss, it’s a must!!
While craving the warmer spring temperatures I had the urge to create a seasonal concept. Being 5 months pregnant I’ve been craving fresh oranges for weeks.

What’s fab about this recipe, is everything! It’s quick, easy, affordable, packs a hit of citrus, coated in white chocolate, has aesthetic appeal with the candied oranges and orange zest, can easily be made in bulk, perfect for entertaining, and capture the essence of spring!!
