Ingredients
Scale
- 6 cups crispy rice cereal
- 4 cups mini marshmallows
- 3 tablespoons butter
- Pink food coloring
- White chocolate or candy melts (for drizzling)
- Silver edible pearls or sprinkles
- Small wooden sticks or popsicle sticks
Instructions
- Melt Butter and Marshmallows: In a large saucepan, melt the butter over low heat. Add mini marshmallows, stirring continuously until they are completely melted and smooth.
- Add Pink Color: Remove the saucepan from heat and add a few drops of pink food coloring. Stir well until the color is evenly distributed.
- Mix with Cereal: Pour the crispy rice cereal into the saucepan. Gently fold the cereal into the melted marshmallow mixture until well coated.
- Shape the Trees: Line a baking tray with parchment paper. Spread the mixture evenly on the tray. Allow it to cool for a few minutes, then cut into triangle shapes to create tree forms.
- Insert Sticks: Gently insert a wooden stick into the base of each tree shape.
- Decorate: Melt white chocolate or candy melts according to package instructions. Drizzle it over the trees for a festive touch. Add silver edible pearls or sprinkles on top before the chocolate sets.
Notes
- Make sure the marshmallow mixture is not too hot before adding the food coloring to prevent it from evaporating quickly.
- If the mixture is sticking to your hands while shaping, lightly grease your hands with butter.
- For added flavor, you can mix a teaspoon of vanilla extract into the melted marshmallows.
- These treats are perfect for the holiday season and can be stored in an airtight container for several days.
