I used to eat rice cereal treats as a kid all the time. Literally all the time. My mamma would make them for my sisters and I on occasion and whenever she did, it was basically the greatest day ever. She also would make flan all the time, but I’m not a fan of flan so she’d make these for me whenever she’d make flan for my sisters. On another note, I also really loved neapolitan ice cream. Mainly because I was able to get chocolate, vanilla and strawberry ice cream all at once. I wasn’t forced to pick just one flavor, which I really liked, because I was able to eat all three in one scoop. That my friends is what you call a kid’s dream come true. I’m just going to go on record and say that this is probably the best food invention ever invented. So with that being said, I recently teamed up with Delish Dish, Better Homes and Gardens’ blog to take one of their recipes and make it my own. When I was looking through the BHG site, scanning through all of their delicious recipes, these multi-layered cereal treats kept calling out to me. “Make me, make me,” they kept saying. And make them I did, with a few changes here and there to make them my own. Make sure to read below so that you can see how I did it! They’re super easy to make, so don’t worry too much about all of the layers and steps.
The way I look at it, these are the best of both worlds. You get the awesome flavors from the classic neapolitan ice cream but without the fear of melting ice cream and creating a mess. They’re perfect for kid’s parties and adult gatherings or dinner parties (aka for EVERYTHING in your life) because they’re a great recipe to make ahead of time. Whip these up the next time you’re in need of a show-stopping dessert that will for sure make your friends and family happy as clams. The added chocolate chips to the middle chocolate layer takes these over the edge, along with the dried cherries or dried strawberries (if you can find them) in the strawberry layer. Let’s fight those mid-week blues and celebrate one more day closer to the weekend by eating our weight in marshmallow treats. I think that’s the way to do it.
