Rice Krispies Christmas wreaths
Ingredients
- 3 tablespoons unsalted butter, plus more for greasing hands
- 1 (10 oz.) package marshmallows
- 6 cups Rice Krispies cereal
- 8-10 drops green food coloring
- 50-60 red cinnamon decorating dots
Instructions
Prepare your decorating station: Lay out a large piece of wax paper and prep some extra pats of softened butter to spread on your hands. Make sure the red cinnamon candies are out and ready to go. Melt butter in a large saucepan over low heat. Add marshmallows and stir until coated in butter. Melt over low heat, stirring occasionally. Once marshmallows are completely melted, add green food coloring. Start with 7-8 drops and add more until it’s the right color. (You don't want it to be too light or pastel.) Stir well. Turn off heat and carefully stir in Rice Krispies cereal until it’s completely coated. Grease hands with extra butter and grab handfuls of the Rice Krispies mixture (be careful not to burn yourself if it’s hot). Roll into balls - about the size of a baseball - and use your finger to make a hole in the center. Flatten the ball into a wreath shape and set on a piece of wax paper. Top with 4-5 red cinnamon candies. Repeat with remaining Rice Krispies mixture until all the wreaths are formed and decorated. Let cool completely before storing in an airtight container. Rice Krispies wreaths will keep at room temperature for up to 5 days.
