How’s your week going so far? We are now on the second day of our Back-to-school series and I hope you’re enjoying all the fun food and crafts because I am having a blast sharing them with you!

Along with the chalkboard and composition notebook cupcakes, I have one more Back-to-school cupcake coming your way tomorrow. Today, it’s all about these super cute School Bus Rice Krispies treats!
