Christmas Tree Rice Krispies Treats
Ingredients
- 3 Tbsp (42g) salted butter, diced into 1-Tbsp pieces
- 1 (10 oz) bag mini marshmallows
- Green gel food coloring (such as Wilton brand)
- 6 cups (170g) Rice Krispies cereal
- White decorating icing (I just used store-bought)
- 16 miniature Reeses peanut butter cups, unwrapped*
- Round red sprinkles
- 16 star sprinkles or yellow mini M&Ms
Instructions
- Melt butter in a large saucepan over medium-low heat.
- Add in marshmallows and stir until melted, while tinting with green food coloring to reach desired shade.
- Remove from heat add in Rice Krispies cereal and fold mixture until evenly coated. Let cool about 5 minutes.
- Spray hands with non-stick cooking spray and shape about 1/3 cup to 1/2 cup of the mixture into into cones, while pressing firmly so they’ll hold together.
- Decorate with sprinkles, using the icing to get them to stick. Then put icing on the Reeses and place one under each tree.
- Note if you want the icing to harden let them rest overnight, or you can just eat them right away.
