Ingredients
Scale
3 tablespoons butter
10 ounces mini marshmallows
6 cups Rice Krispies cereal
a few drops green food coloring (add more for a brighter hue)
small red candies (for decoration)
Christmas tree cookie cutter (use for fun shapes)
edible glitter or sprinkles (for extra holiday cheer)
natural coloring options (for a healthier spin)
Instructions
In a large saucepan over low heat, melt the butter, stirring continuously to ensure it doesn’t brown. This process should take about 2-3 minutes.
Stir in the mini marshmallows, mixing well until they begin to melt into the butter. Continue stirring for an additional 3-4 minutes until completely melted and bubbly.
Remove from heat and add a few drops of green food coloring. Stir vigorously until color is evenly distributed.
Gently fold in the Rice Krispies cereal using a spatula until all cereal is evenly coated.
Line a cookie sheet with wax paper and pour the mixture onto it, spreading it out evenly to about an inch thick. Let it cool for about 5-10 minutes.
Use a heart-shaped cookie cutter to cut out heart shapes from the cooled mixture and transfer them to clean wax paper.
Gently press a small red candy into the center of each heart and allow the treats to set for a few minutes before serving.
