How was your Thanksgiving? Brad and I had a great afternoon with my parents and aunt’s family. Now that you MIGHT be hungry again, I’m sharing a couple easy and delicious winter desserts.

First up are some Rice Chex Crispies. For my crispies, I added a couple different sprinkles; however, there are so many different options to pick from for at WinCo bulk bins – chocolate candies, nuts, gummy candies, dried fruit and so much more.
