Christmas Tree Rice Krispie Treats

For a fun Christmas treat make rice krispie treats and tint them green with food coloring then use a cookie cutter to cut them out in the shape of trees.  I made a dozen Christmas trees from a 9 X 13 pan.

Ingredients:

1/4 cup butter (1/2 stick)
1 10 oz.pkg. regular marshmallows or 3 cups miniature marshmallows
6 cups Rice Krispies cereal
green food coloring
sprinkles

In a large saucepan, melt butter over low heat.  Add the marshmallows and continue to stir until the marshmallows have completely melted. Add a few drops green food coloring.  Remove from heat.  Stir in Rice Krispies cereal coating it well with the melted marshmallow mixture.

Using a spatula, press the mixture into a 9 X 13 pan which has been buttered or sprayed with non-stick spray.  Sprinkle with Christmas sprinkles.  

Cut with a Christmas tree cookie cutter and set on wax paper or a buttered dish.
