Edible Image Size for Rice Krispie Treats
For homemade 2 inch squares, print 1.75 inch squares to leave a small border, or a full 2 inches to cover the top. For bar-shaped treats, 1.6 × 2.2 inches is the size sellers call "standard Rice Krispie" — but bars vary, so measure yours first.

Why this size
Rice Krispie treats have a bumpy top, so they are nearly always coated — in chocolate, candy melts or a thin sheet of fondant — before the image goes on. Size the image to that flat coated top rather than the raw treat.
Kellogg’s does not publish the size of its wrapped bars, and homemade treats are cut to whatever the tin allows. Measure the top of yours and print about an eighth of an inch smaller on each side, so the image never hangs over the edge.
How to put an edible image on Rice Krispie treats
- 1
Cut, then coat
Cut the treats to their final size, then coat the tops in chocolate, candy melts or a thin sheet of fondant. - 2
Apply to wet coating
Lay the image on while the chocolate or candy melt is still wet, so it sets in place. - 3
Press gently
Smooth from the middle out without pressing into the rice, then leave to set.
Tips that save a sheet
- Cut the treats before you print, then match the image to the pieces you actually have.
- The editor’s crispy-bar shape has the soft corners of a wrapped bar.
- Candy melts set faster than chocolate — have every image cut and peeled before you start.
