Holiday Christmas Treats

Here is a recipe for holiday crispy treats:

-  1/4 cup butter

-  4 cups mini marshmallows

-  5 cups rice crispy cereal

In a large bowl, measure out 5 cups crispy cereal (store brand works just fine and is less expensive) and mix in sprinkles if you choose.  Set aside.

Melt 1/4 cup butter in medium sized saucepan over medium heat.  Once butter is melted, add in mini marshmallows and stir until combined and form a marshmallow cream.  Remove from heat and stir in food coloring of your choice (use less drops for a lighter color and more drops for a darker color). I added approximately 3 - 4 drops in mine.   Next, mix in cereal/sprinkle mixture into saucepan and stir to coat the cereal well.  Spread out evenly, with a spatula, in a 9 x 13 inch baking dish.  Let cool.

Once the treats are cool, cut out fun shapes with a cookie cutter(s).  Serve and Enjoy!  You can also store in an air tight container in your pantry.
