Chistmas Tree Cookie Cutter Cereal Treats

If you have visited our blog this past week you have seen we have been celebrating cookie cutter week and the celebration continues with the Christmas tree cookie cutter.

 

 

Another way that cookie cutters can be used is by cutting out delicious sweet treats. This is a yummy Cereal Treat

 

 

 

 

6 cups Rice Krispies cereal
3 tablespoons butter
10 oz. marshmallows
1 teaspoon vanilla
Green food coloring
Random sprinkles and candies

On low heat and in a large and deep sauce pan, melt the butter. Add marshmallows to melted butter, stir frequently to keep marshmallows from burning until mostly melted. Add green food coloring until desired color is reached. Once marshmallows are completely melted, remove from heat and stir in vanilla. Stir in the Rice Krispies.
 Spread treats on a buttered pan or piece of wax paper and spread out until about 1/2 inch thick.
 Using a cookie cutter or knife, cut out tree shapes.
 Decorate with sprinkles or cinnamon candies.
