With their yummy peppermint and marshmallow flavor, they'll make even those without Irish hearts happy. And they'll have the cook smiling, too, because they're so easy to assemble. Ingredients:
3 tablespoons butter |
4 cups large marshmallows (about 40) |
1/4 teaspoon peppermint extract |
6 cups crisp rice cereal |
6 ounces white candy coating, chopped |
4 drops green food coloring (optional) |
green sprinkles |
Directions:
1. In a large saucepan, melt butter. Add marshmallows; cook and stir over low heat until melted. Remove from the heat; stir in extract and cereal; mix well. With buttered hands, press mixture into a greased foil-lined 13x9x2-inch pan. Cool completely on a wire rack.
2. Turn onto a cutting board; remove foil. Cut with a 3-in. shamrock cookie cutter; reshape shamrock stem if needed (save scraps for another use). In a microwave, melt candy coating.
3. Stir in food coloring if desired. Spoon over cutouts and spread evenly. Decorate with sprinkles. Let stand until set.
