My kiddos are so into fairies lately. They love them. Tinker Bell being the all-around favorite, of course… all 3 littles love to talk about and play pretend fairies.
(Even 1 year old Maren walks around the house chanting “Bell! Yay BELL!”)
So, of course I had to encourage this sweet fairy love (because secretly I really love fairies too! Always have, always will!!) with a fun little treat.
I’ve never met a kid (or husband, for that matter!) who doesn’t love a good buttery, gooey homemade rice krispies treat, so I decided to change them up with some cake batter for flavor and a sprinkle of sanding sugar ‘fairy-dust’!
To say my kids were excited was an understatement. (It might have helped that this was Maren’s first time tasting a rice krispies treat!)
Now, you might say fairy-dust should be gold, but in this house fairy-dust is purple. Actually just about everything is purple around here. My boys are UW Huskies fans… so purple fairy-dust it is!
I have a feeling these sweet treats will be making another appearance at a certain 5-year-old’s birthday in a few weeks!
That same little someone might be getting the all-new Disney Tinker Bell movie “The Pirate Fairy” that is coming out on Blu-ray™ and Digital HD Apr 1. (Shhh…Don’t tell him!)
Considering how my kids have watched every Tinker Bell movie countless times, I can say with certainty that they will be over the moon having a new one to watch and love!
