This is a fun recipe to make with kids. They can help by decorating with gumdrops, pretzels and candies. Airheads Sour Belts make sweet scarves; snipped marshmallows work for hats. Ingredients:
1/4 cup butter, cubed |
2 teaspoons ground cinnamon or pumpkin pie spice |
1 package (10 ounces) large marshmallows |
6 cups rice krispies |
pretzel sticks, assorted candies and/or fruit roll-ups, cut into thin strips |
vanilla frosting |
flaked coconut |
Directions:
1. In a large saucepan, melt butter over medium heat. Add cinnamon and marshmallows; stir until blended and marshmallows are melted. Remove from the heat. Stir in cereal until coated. Use mixture to shape trees or snowmen.
2. For trees, press mixture into a greased 13-in. x 9-in. baking pan; cool completely. Cut into triangles.
3. For snowmen, cool cereal mixture slightly; shape into different-sized balls using buttered hands. Stack balls to make snowmen.
4. To decorate, attach pretzels, candies and/or Fruit Roll-ups with frosting. Arrange cereal treats on a platter; surround with coconut. Serve the same day for best texture. Yield: about 10 trees or 6 snowmen.
