How fun is it that the Elf on the Shelf people released a sugar cookie cereal in time for the holidays? This delicious Elf on the Shelf Cereal is a huge hit in our household! The kids and I decided to make some Elf on the Shelf Cereal Treats in honor of this cereal’s release and because we have a hearty love of making Rice Krispies Treats and cookie bars. This is like the best of both worlds!
This is our first holiday-themed cereal treat recipe we’ve ever created! Can you believe it? With all the recipes we’ve created in the past, this is seriously the first Christmas themed? Wow! In the past, we’ve created:

How to Make Elf on the Shelf Cereal Treats
Place your butter in a large microwave safe bowl. Microwave for one minute or until melted.
Add the mini marshmallows to your microwave safe bowl and microwave in 30-second intervals, stirring with a wooden spoon or rubber spatula in-between each interval, until the marshmallows are fully melted.
Stir in the Elf on the Shelf Sugar Cookie Cereal until all ingredients are well combined.
Spread your cereal mixture into a parchment paper lined baking pan and allow to cool completely before cutting into squares.
Once cooled completely, lift the cereal treats out of the baking pan by keeping it on the parchment paper and transfer it to a large cutting board to cut into squares before serving. Use your large sharp knife to cut it into squares.
Do I Bake Elf on the Shelf Cereal Treats?
Not at all! You don’t even use a stove! You just microwave the ingredients as directed!
Can These Cereal Treats Be Shaped?
Absolutely! You can double the recipe and spread the cereal mixture onto a large sheet pan with parchment paper lining. You can use your preferred cookie cutter shapes to cut out the cereal mixture before it’s cooled. You will need to spray your cookie cutters with cooking spray before cutting, though. Cutting them out before they’re fully cooled allows you to combine and re-spread the cereal mixture to make as many cut-out shapes as possible!
What Goes With Elf on the Shelf Cereal Treats?
- Milk, obviously! Who doesn’t love cookies with milk? I know these aren’t exactly cookies, but they could be considered cookie bars since the flavor of the cereal is sugar cookie!
- If you’re looking to gift these to people, you could easily add them to your cookie tins or cookie boxes to give to friends, family, and neighbors, or wrap them individually in holiday-themed cellophane gift bags if you’d like!
