New season brings a new challenge from Rice Krispies Making Memories Challenge and The Motherhood.

As part of Team Kansas City we were challenged to create an original recipe that is suitable for summertime fun – and what better way to have fun than with a summer picnic.

Team Kansas City (Kristin from Dine & Dish, Jenn from Super Jenn, Julie from My Kansas City Mommy & I) are not only amazing bloggers, but also my friends. So when we get together, we end up laughing as much as we are cooking. (Because Jenn usually has a really good story.)

So our picnic creation included our original Tangy Watermelon Rice Krispies Treats, super-dooper-cute Rice Krispies Treat Burgers and then some cute ants who wanted in on the action.

If you love Laffy Taffy – you have to make this recipe. It is unlike any Rice Krispies Treat you have ever had.
