5. Christmas crispy treats
Why wait until Christmas to make this delicious dessert? You can make it any day of the year and decorate it the way you want.
You will need:
Unsalted butter
Crispy rice cereal
Marshmallows
Candy canes
Decorations – sprinkles, M&Ms, icing gel, etc.
Baking sheet
Waxed paper or parchment paper
How to make:
Melt the butter and marshmallows in a saucepan over medium heat.
Once the marshmallows melt completely, remove the saucepan and pour in the rice cereal. Mix well so that the butter and marshmallow mixture coats the cereal evenly.
Line the baking sheet with waxed paper and spread the rice cereal mixture on it evenly. The thickness should be around ½” to ¾”.
Spray cooking spray on a sharp knife and cut the rice cereal in triangles or whichever shape you wish.
Break candy canes into three-inch pieces and insert one into each crispy rice treat piece.
Let the cereal cool completely before decorating it.
