Christmas Tree Rice Krispies Treats

Ingredients

• 3 Tbsp salted butter, diced into 1-Tbsp pieces
• 1 bag mini marshmallows
• Green gel food coloring
• 6 cups Rice Krispies cereal
• White decorating icing
• 16 miniature Reeses peanut butter cups, unwrapped
• Round red sprinkles
• 16 star sprinkles or yellow mini M&Ms

Directions

1. Warm the butter in a large saucepan over medium-low heat until melted. Stir in the marshmallows and keep stirring as they melt, adding green food coloring until the mixture is the shade you like.
2. Take the pan off the heat, add the Rice Krispies cereal, and fold everything together until the cereal is coated all over. Set the mixture aside to cool for about 5 minutes.
3. Coat your hands with non-stick cooking spray, then scoop about 1/3 cup to 1/2 cup of the cereal mixture and press it into a cone shape, packing it well so it stays put.
4. Use the icing as your glue to attach the sprinkles to the trees. Add icing to the Reeses, then set one beneath each tree as the base.
5. If you would like the icing to set firm, leave the treats out overnight. Otherwise, they are ready to eat right away.
