CHRISTMAS TREE RICE KRISPIE TREATS RECIPE

Steps:

• Grease or spray a 9x13-inch pan and set aside. In a large pan, melt butter and marshmallows over medium-low heat, stirring constantly. Once it almost smooth and melted, add green food coloring little by little until you achieve your desired tree color. Once completely smooth and perfectly green, remove from heat and stir in Rice Krispies. Continue to stir until all the cereal is coated. Press evenly into prepared pan (I always spray my hand with nonstick cooking spray to do this, but you can also use a piece of wax paper). Immediately sprinkle with sprinkles. Let cool for at least 30 minutes. Cut one cut down the middle of the pan (the long way). Then, cut each of those rows into triangles (you should have 4 scraps leftover, one at each side of each row).

• Add cereal; mix well. Press onto bottom of 13x9-inch pan sprayed with cooking spray. Top with sprinkles; press gently into cereal mixture to secure. Refrigerate 15 min.
• Remove cereal mixture from pan. Cut lengthwise in half to form 2 long rectangles, then cut each rectangle diagonally into 6 triangles to resemble Christmas trees. Press 2 scrap pieces from ends of each rectangle together to make additional tree. (You will have 14 trees.)
