Prep Time: 30 minutes
Cook Time: 5 Minutes
Total Time: 1 Hour 35 Minutes
Ingredients:
● 8 TBSP Butter (1 stick)
● 16 oz Mini Marshmallows
● 8 cups Rice Crispy Cereal
● 3 Twizzlers Cherry Pull-N-Peel Candy
● ¼ cup White Frosting (or red and/or green)
● 6 oz Red and Green M&Ms (mixed)
Directions:
● In a large pot melt butter.
● Add the entire bag of mini marshmallows to the melted butter. Stir constantly so that it does not burn.
● Remove from the heat and add cereal. Stir until cereal and marshmallows are mixed thoroughly.
● Flatten the rice crispy treat into a 13″x9″ pan and let them set up.
● Cut with an oval cookie cutter.
● Unwrap Twizzler ropes into single ropes. Those will be what will allow the ornaments to hang.
● Push a dowel through the top portion of the rice crispy ornament to form a hole. Push a piece of the rope candy through the hole. Tie it off with a knot.
● Using some white (or red and/or green) frosting, dot the rice crispy ornament in the pattern you would like to attach the M&Ms. Press the M&Ms onto the frosting.
● Allow to set for 1 hour.
● Makes 15 Edible Cereal Ornaments
Notes:
● You may have to reshape the ornaments a little bit back together when they are cooling, just keep checking on them every so often in case they spread a bit.
● If you want to add color to your rice crispy cereals ornaments, add the food coloring after you have pulled the mixture off the stove.
● The smallest bag of the Twizzlers seems to be 12 oz.
● The red and green M&Ms bag is 11.4oz. How many you use is up to you.
