Holiday Wreath Treats
Description
The recipe begins by melting butter in a pan and stirring in marshmallows until fully melted. Green food coloring is added to tint the mixture a festive shade. Rice Krispies cereal is then thoroughly mixed in to evenly coat the grains with the marshmallow mixture, forming a sticky, malleable mass. The cereal mixture is shaped into rings resembling wreaths either by pressing into donut pans or by hand-rolling on waxed paper with the center removed.
For decoration, sprinkles and candy are applied to represent holly berries and add colorful accents. The mixture sets as it cools, resulting in a sweet, textured treat with a chewy interior and a slight crunch from the cereal.
These treats are suitable for gifting, parties, or holiday-themed snacks and are similar in texture to classic Rice Krispies treats but with a seasonal presentation.
Ingredients
- 6 cups Rice Krispies cereal
- 3 Tablespoons butter
- 40 marshmallows
- green food coloring
- decorative sprinkles
- Candy
Instructions
- Melt the butter in a large sauce pan.
- Add the marshmallows and stir until melted.
- Add green food coloring until desired color is obtained.
- Mix with the cereal until completely coated.
- If using a donut pan or donut maker spray it with cooking spray, then press the mixture into the molds. Carefully use a knife to remove the wreath to a cookie rack.
- If using your hands spray them with cooking spray. Then roll the mixture into a ball and carefully flatten on waxed paper, removing the middle for a wreath shape.
- Use decorative sprinkles and candy to make holly berries on the wreath.
