German Chocolate Rice Krispie Treats

Birthdays are always a big deal in my home. The big day usually turns into an entire week of celebrating that person. And this weekend was no different, as it was my dad’s birthday and I figured I would make a fun dessert that everyone could enjoy at his party. Except that I forgot to bring the dessert!

Looks like I’m going to have to make a special trip to my dad’s this week to deliver these German Chocolate Rice Krispie Treats. Although I’m not sure how many will be left by the time I make the trip. We’ve got three hungry boys and Naomi has the sweetest tooth in the house. But hey, I get credit for the thought and effort, right?
