Ingredients
- 1/4 cup (60 mL)butter
- 5 cups (1.25 L)mini marshmallows
- 1 tsp (5 mL)vanilla extract
- 6 cups (1.5 L)
Rice Krispies® Holiday Edition Cereal
- 16 (2-inch/5 cm long pieces)candy cane pieces
- 2 oz (60 g)white chocolate, chopped
- 2 tbsp (30 mL)coloured sprinkles
Directions
- Grease two 8-inch (20 cm) round cake pans. Melt butter in large saucepan set over low heat; add marshmallows. Cook, stirring, for 8 to 10 minutes or until completely melted. Stir in vanilla. Remove from heat.
- Immediately stir in cereal until coated. Using wet hands or buttered spatula, spread evenly into each prepared pan. Let cool completely. Use a paring knife to loosen the sides of the Rice Krispies® mixture from pans; flip each pan upside down over a cutting board and tap pan to remove Rice Krispies® mixture in one piece. Cut into 8 wedges to make 16 holiday trees. Insert piece of candy cane into base of each tree to resemble tree trunk.
- Place white chocolate in a heatproof bowl set over a saucepan of gently simmering water. Stir occasionally; heat until melted. Cool for 10 to 15 minutes.
- Spoon melted chocolate into piping bag fitted with small round tip or into resealable bag with corner snipped.
- Drizzle melted chocolate over each tree; decorate with sprinkles. Let stand for about 15 to 20 minutes or until chocolate sets. Store in airtight container.
Tip: Alternatively use pretzel sticks for tree trunks.
