Turn ordinary store-bought cereal treats into these adorable Cookie Monster Rice Krispie Treats for a Sesame Street-themed birthday party or just an afternoon snack.

Cookie Monster with his messy blue fur, big googly eyes, and cookie-eating mouth is an endearing character and he looks so cute as an edible craft.

These desserts are easy to create using store-bought cereal treat bars, a can of blue frosting, some extra-large candy eyes, and Tootsie Rolls. You can even put tiny cookies in Cookie Monster’s Mouth. I used mini Nutter Butters, but any small cookie will do.

Step 4

Use kitchen scissors to cut 2 Cookie monster Mouths out of each Tootsie Roll then press the candy mouths onto the frosted treats.

NOTE: If your Tootsie Roll Midgees are nice and soft, flatten them using your fingers. If not, then unwrap them and place a few in the microwave on defrost for 5-8 seconds, just to soften them enough so they can be flattened.

Step 5

Add a small cookie using a dab of frosting, if desired, to make it look like Cookie Monster is eating a cookie. Store in an airtight container for up to a week or so.
