Snack day: Christmas Stockings

Today was snack day at Boston's school and I got to make something I had cut out of a magazine years ago to make once the kids got a little older. They are christmas stockings that are made out of Fruity Pebbles cereal (like rice krispie treats). And boy were they good! Especially if you like Fruity Pebbles, puts a whole new twist on rice krispie treats!! We also added some icing decorations on it. The boys especially loved licking the bowl! Boston said that all his friends liked them at school as well. He just loves taking snack. He's so proud that it was his snack day.
