This gluten-free Rice Krispies and chocolate pinwheel is the perfect treat for a birthday party, school event or family get together. This treat is as delicious as it looks, so it’s the perfect addition to any party. My husband is sensitive to gluten, so I am always looking for recipes that all my celiac and gluten-free friends (and kids!) can enjoy.

My kids will also make the case that these Rice Krispies and chocolate treats are great as an after-school snack, but I prefer to save them for special moments. My teen son’s friends enjoy them while watching sports games. The combination of Rice Krispies, marshmallows, and Hershey’s Kisses is simply irresistible! You can also add heart sprinkles to make this a Valentine’s Day treat.

If you prefer a plain version, you can find the original Rice Krispies treats recipe here.
