I’ve always been a big fan of homemade Rice Krispie treats. I could legitimately eat an entire tray of them. And the same goes for these caramel apple pecan Rice Krispie treats. The flavor combination of these treats is so utterly satisfying. My guy and I finished a full tray of these within a couple of days, that’s how tasty there are. The dominating flavor is caramel, but the apples and pecans come through with every bite. Naturally, I added more caramel and roasted pecans to the top of these, because why not?
I am so looking forward to eating a delicious meal on Thanksgiving. It’s the time of year to be thankful and I can truly say I am grateful for what I have. Though this year has had its difficulties and stresses, I am thankful for how we’ve grown and the accomplishments we’ve achieved this year. Like most twenty-somethings, I am still figuring it out. But each year that I come closer to thirty, I grow wiser and more attentive to the person that I want to be.
